1Abstract
The group birefringence and chromatic dispersion of a polarisation maintaining bow-tie erbium-doped silica fibre have been measured in the wavelength range 1.2-1.68µm by an interferometric measurement technique without any polarisers. The group birefringence is lower than that of a conventional bow-tie fibre and the zero dispersion wavelengths of the cwo polarisation modes are shifted to 1.613 and 1.630µm
