Abstract :
Examples of adiabatic modification of optical fiber parameters while maintaining single-mode propagation are discussed in the paper. It is found that adiabatic variation of polarization of fiber mode enables efficient coupling of a PM fiber supporting linearly polarized modes and a chiral fiber supporting circularly or elliptically polarized modes
