Fabrication and characterisation of circularly birefringent helical fibres
A technique for fabricating helical-core circularly birefringent fibres is reported. Extremely high levels of circular birefringence are achieved (B = 2.1 x 10<sup>-4</sup> at 633nm). Because of its unique structure, this fibre remains single-mode up to V values of 25.
