摘要：

In this work, we report the experimental observation of a polarization attraction process which can occur in optical fibers at telecommunication wavelengths. More precisely, we have numerically and experimentally shown that a polarization attractor, based on the injection of two counter-propagating waves around 1.55 mu m into a 2-m long high nonlinear fiber, can transform any input polarization state into a unique well-defined output polarization state.
