We report, through numerical simulations and experimental data, the first successful fabrication of a polarization maintaining single-mode fiber delivering a flat top intensity profile at 1.05 µm. A high quality flat mode was obtained and single-mode behavior was checked by shifting the injection and by S² imaging method. Numerical investigations were performed to show that it would be possible to increase further the 0.6x10⁻⁴ experimental group birefringence.
