Abstract

Fiber spinning has been widely used in reducing polarization mode dispersion of optical transmission fibers in the past decade. It also affects the polarization evolution in fibers, which has measurable effects. This paper reviews and reports the progress in understanding the properties of polarization evolution in spun fibers in both of the cases with and without the influence of external factors. Theoretical formalism is constructed and various properties of the polarization evolution are revealed through numerical modeling. Some aspects of the features have been experimentally explored.
