Experimental results show that the refractive index of the outside medium affects the performance of fibre polarisers made by tapering high-birefringent bow-tie fibres. Both narrowband and wideband polarisers have been constructed having extinction ratios of 35 and 26 dB, respectively.

Inspec keywords: light polarisation; birefringence; claddings; refractive index; fibre optics; losses
