Le ralentissement ou l'accélération de la lumière basés sur l'amplification paramétrique à bande étroite dans des fibres optiques requièrent un contrôle précis de la polarisation des ondes impliquées dans l'interaction. L'utilisation de fibres à haute biréfringence, ou de fibres « spun » a été étudiée théoriquement, les sources de dégradation éventuelles analysées et des critères de conception proposés.

Efficient slow and fast light fiber devices based on narrow band optical parametric amplification require a strict polarization control of the waves involved in the interaction. The use of high birefringence and spun fibers is studied theoretically, possible impairments evaluated, and design parameters determined.
