Abstract :
We report on a practical method for stabilising the state of polarisation on a single-mode fibre exhibiting a 100% degree of polarisation. The principle of operation is reviewed, as are the practical implementation aspects and experimental results for polarisation stabilisation with a 1.3 ¿m-wavelength laser diode.
