Abstract

In this work an optical fiber polarization delay line is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. It is based on two, separated, unchirped Fiber Bragg Gratings, being one of them pressed in order to introduce linear birefringence. The System has been evaluated with a continuously sinusoidal modulated at 1 GHz signal and with a pulsed on/off light. The possible applications are discussed.
