Abstract:
We investigate circular birefringence induced by spinning microstructured optical fibres during their fabrication to produce helical-shaped holes. Designs with an offset core which results in a helical path for the light and exhibit only circular birefringence and designs with a linearly birefringent core that result in elliptical birefringence are both investigated.
