Nulling the birefringence effect of a light signal traveling through a single-mode fiber when the fiber behaves as an elliptical retarder can be achieved by winding the fiber as a double-helix. We present a resume of the theory and procedures developed at CICESE to demonstrate this polarization control in fiber systems.
