“…The polarization-maintaining fibers that were used in the experiment are of the PANDAtype [21]. This type of fiber features an inner core, which guides the light, and two stressinducing elements, which serve to introduce stress at the fiber core in well-defined directions, which leads to stress-induced birefringence in the fiber core.…”

The future space-based gravitational wave detector Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) requires bidirectional exchange of light between its two optical benches on board of each of its three satellites. The current baseline foresees a polarization-maintaining single-mode fiber for this backlink connection.Phase changes which are common in both directions do not enter the science measurement, but differential ("non-reciprocal") phase fluctuations directly do and must thus be guaranteed to be small enough.We have built a setup consisting of a Zerodur™ baseplate with fused silica components attached to it using hydroxide-catalysis bonding and demonstrated the reciprocity of a polarization-maintaining single-mode fiber at the 1 pm/ √ Hz level as is required for LISA. We used balanced detection to reduce the influence of parasitic optical beams on the reciprocity measurement and a fiber length stabilization to avoid nonlinear effects in our phase measurement system (phase meter). For LISA, a different phase meter is planned to be used that does not show this nonlinearity. We corrected the influence of beam angle changes and temperature changes on the reciprocity measurement in post-processing.

“…Pit-in-jacket [3] method is selected for fabricating our PANDA PMF, in which the core rod and the SAP are made by an updated PCVD process, and the jacket tube is made by OVD process. We carried on the following steps to fabricate this type of PANDA PMF: 1) Choose the big jacket tube's size for drawing the fiber, calculate the core rod's parameter and fabricate the core rod.…”

In this paper, we describe a development of a polarization-maintaining fiber by PCVD based process which can be used in the high precision gyroscope and present its measured properties. This kind of fiber is designed as the reduced cladding PMF. The fabrication of the polarization-maintaining fiber is based on the PANDA PMF PCVD based process. Thus, with the reduced cladding, the fiber has better bending properties. Fabrication by the PCVD process, the fiber also has good longitudinal uniformity and a low-loss about 0.374dB/km @ 1310nm, 2.0mm beatlength and -30dB/km crosstalk. It's environmental performance of crosstalk is also good for fiber optic gyroscope. These better properties make this fiber can be used in the high precision gyroscope system.

“…A pit-in-jacket method becomes a typical fabrication process for PANDA PMF [3] . However, with the development of the laser gyroscope diffusely applied in many areas, the present research and fabrication in China is not able to satisfy the national requirement for the polarization-maintaining fiber with the high properties, especially such as the long-length and low-loss, because the presently national actuality of fabricating PMF process is more austere than that of other conventional solid fiber for Chinese academics or manufactories limited by many issues such as fabricating stress application preform (SAP), drilling process [4,5] .…”

In this paper, we describe a fabrication process of a long-length & low-loss polarization-maintaining fiber and present the measured optical properties of the polarization-maintaining fiber. The fabrication of the polarization-maintaining fiber is based on the pit-in jacket method, in which the core rod and stress application perform is fabricated by an updated PCVD process. Thus, polarization-maintaining fibers with the long-length not less than 15km can be obtained with a good longitudinal uniformity and a low-loss about 0.423dB/km@1310nm and 0.245dB/km@1550nm. The optical and geometrical properties of the polarization-maintaining fiber were measured. We also tested some special measurements. The results is well matched the specification of the present productions.
