An optical wave made up of two perpendicular electromagnetic field constituents changing with amplitude and frequency. A polarization of light occurs when these two constituents change in phase or amplitude. Polarization in optical fiber (polarization maintaining optical-fibers : maintaining low PMD) has been widely studied and approaches are possible to minimize the phenomenon. Lower PMD provides higher the information conveying efficiency of the optical fiber, so low PMD should be maintained". Here, basic theories and technical background are established in explaining how the polarization in fiber optics works.
