Abstract

In this work we show the changes of polarization at different wavelengths in the end of a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) by means bandpass filters in a supercontinuum light source. A linear and circular polarization was introduced in a piece of PCF, showing the changes of the polarization for each wavelength of each one of the filters from 450 to 700nm. We used a microchip laser as pumping source with wavelength of 532nm and short pulses of 650ps with repetition rate of 5kHz. We obtained a continuous spectrum in the visible spectral region, showing a comparison of the polarization state at the fiber input with respect to polarization state in the fiber output for different wavelengths by rotating the axes of the PCF.
