Abstract :
Compact samples of quarter wave plate have been fabricated by cutting holey birefringent fiber into short sections. The temperature instability and wavelength sensitivity of these samples are analyzed and measured. The temperature stability is greatly improved, but the wavelength bandwidth needs further optimization.
