Abstract

Techniques are provided for radiation-induced birefringence in a Polarization-Maintaining Fiber (PMF). In one example, a fiber is obtained. At least one local volume of the fiber is irradiated to induce an end-to-end birefringence in the fiber. Based on the end-to-end birefringence induced in the fiber, a PMF is produced.
