Abstract :
An analytical method for the calculation of thermal stress in polarization-maintaining optical fibers is presented. The method is based on the thermoelastic potential and is appropriate for structures with a noncircular stress-cladding boundary. The analytical solution is compared with the results of the finite element method (FEM) for the case of an elliptical boundary
