The principle of stress guidance in optical fibres is described. An optimum-stress-guidance structure has been designed and fabricated using gas-phase etching. The fibre is the first to have truly single-polarisation operation for all V-values.

Inspec keywords: etching; optical workshop techniques; optical fibres

Other keywords: gas-phase etching; stress guidance; V-values; single-polarisation operation; optical fabrication; stress-guiding optical fibre
