Fibre-Optic Polariser is an element, whose optic transmittance depends on the polarisation of the incident wave. For one type of polarisation, the transmittance is maximal and for the other type - it is minimal. They are used in transmission systems for the construction of polarisation compensators. This type of devices are used for regulating the status of optical signal polarisation. The structure of this type of optical devices is based on the structure of the optical fibre, which has undergone a partial removal of the fibre-optic coat, and then - in the empty space - a metallic base has been introduced. The length of such element is between ten and twenty centimetres.
