Overviews

In fiber optics, polarization-maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is optical fiber in which the polarization of linearly-polarized light waves launched into the fiber is maintained during propagation, with little or no cross-coupling of optical power between the polarization modes. Maintaining polarization is important in modern telecommunication systems and in various other special applications of fiber optics.

Polarization-maintaining optical fibers are used in special applications, such as in fiber optic sensing, interferometry and quantum key distribution. They are also commonly used in telecommunications for the connection between a source laser and a modulator, since the modulator requires polarized light as input. They are rarely used for long-distance transmission, because PM fiber is expensive and has higher attenuation than singlemode fiber.
