Circularly birefringent single-mode optical fibres

The rotation of polarised light which occurs in a twisted anisotropic medium is exploited to produce very high circular birefringence in single-mode optical fibres. Beat lengths of less than 5 mm have already been achieved in some preliminary experiments.
