We demonstrate a highly manufacturable, low-cost, compatible Single-Polarization Fiber (PZF), which offers the widest polarization bandwidth ever reported in commercial fibers, combined with superior polarization extinction ratio and performance consistency. The principle of the design is discussed in this paper and the full spectral attenuation results shown. We demonstrate the exceptional performance of the fiber for different fiber lengths and layouts. Experimental results show that the Single-Polarization fiber of this study exhibits a Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER) greater than 40dB, and a polarizing bandwidth wider than 200nm, measured on fiber lengths as short as four meters. In addition, PZF is designed with a circular mode field, which makes it low-loss and highly compatible with standard single mode fiber systems and devices. |
