ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber comprising a core and cladding having different refractive indices and forming a single-mode guiding region, the core having a non-circular cross-section defining two transverse orthogonal axes which, in combination with the different refractive indices, permit the de-coupling of waves polarized along the axes. The guiding region is located sufficiently close to the surface of the fiber along a selected length of the fiber, to allow coupling to a guided wave. The outer surface of the fiber has a non-circular cross-section with a predetermined geometric relationship to the guiding region and the orthogonal transverse axes so that the location of the guiding region and the orientation of the axes can be ascertained from the geometry of the outer surface.
