Abstract
In the present article experimentally we have measured optical polarization and birefringence in commercially available endlessly single mode photonic crystal fiber (PCF) named ESM-12B. We have applied the twist into the PCF using mechanical rotator in the experimental setup. The twist angle varied from 0° to 1440° with the interval of 360° rotation. Polarization and birefringence calculated for each twist angle using Polarimetry technique. It is observed from the experimental results that polarization and birefringence can be controlled by applying appropriate twist angle. Theoretical simulation is performed for optimization of the twist angle and calculation of dispersion for each twist angle with respect to wavelength from 0.6 µm to 1.8 µm. It is realized that initial value of dispersion for left rotation is less than − 250 ps/nm/km but for right rotation initial value is less than − 400 ps/nm/km. Application of the present work leads to use the PCF ESM-12B as polarization rotator and optical sensors.
