Description
Summary:•The achromatic variable wave retarder was implemented in standard single-mode fiber.•The model is based on Pancharatnam’s model including three concatenated variable wave retarders.•The results show high degree of achromaticity over 100 nm from 1500 to 1600 nm covering the Erbium band.•The numerical simulation was based on the Jones matrix formulation and is in agreement with experimental results. In this work, we present numerically and experimentally a zero-order achromatic variable-wave retarder (AVWR) in a standard optical fiber. The model is based on Pancharatnam’s model including three concatenated variable wave retarders (VWR). The results show high degree of achromaticity over 100 nm from 1500 to 1600 nm covering the Erbium band. In order to explain the AVWR ellipticity and azimuth behavior, we carry out a numerical simulation based on the Jones matrix formulation and compared it directly with a single VWR.
