Abstract
We present a Müller–Stokes analysis of the polarization properties
of randomly birefingent long-period fiber gratings (LPGs). Using a previously
derived Müller matrix, we perform simulations of the polarization behavior
in photonic crystal fibers-based tapered long-period gratings with randomly
varying birefringence axes. Computer simulations show good agreement with
results from experiments with a broadband-amplified spontaneous emission source
and a tunable laser in combination with a polarization analyzer.
