Abstract :
The theory for understanding fibres composed of `highly¿ birefringent material is presented. One of the two possible polarisation states of the fundamental mode can be made leaky, suggesting a novel single-mode single-polarisation fibre design. No leakage occurs in planar waveguides constructed similarly from the identical material.
