Abstract

The polarization and magnetooptic properties of a sample of single-mode optical fiber have been investigated. The fiber acts as a linear retarder, and the degree of retardation is dependent on the external pressure applied to the fiber. The stress optic coefficient is found to be 8.72 × 10⁻¹⁰ N⁻¹ m². The direction of linear polarization is rotated when a longitudinal magnetic field is applied to the fiber (Faraday effect). The Verdet constant is 1.56 × 10⁻² min A⁻¹. The intrinsic specific linear retardation of the fiber is found to be less than 0.44 rad m⁻¹ from the magnetooptic measurements. The fiber has been used in an experimental current measurement device.
