Background:

  • Hollow-core fibers (HCFs) offer unique light-guiding properties.
  • Controlling light polarization in HCFs is crucial for advanced optical systems.
  • Existing polarization control methods can be complex or limited in bandwidth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a simple and universal polarization controller for hollow-core fibers.
  • To leverage the inherent birefringence of air-core fibers for polarization manipulation.
  • To characterize the performance and bandwidth of the developed polarization controller.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a polarization controller using three twisted sections of hollow-core fiber.
  • Utilizing the intrinsic birefringence of the air-core fiber within the twisted sections.
