Summary
Optical fibers are central to telecommunication and sensor technologies, and polarization behavior within these fibers has a profound impact on their performance. This work examines polarization phenomena, and delivers analytical and practical knowledge that is suitable for engineers seeking to optimize and advance optical fiber performance.
