Whereas straight liquid-core optical fibers have the capability of transporting linearly polarized light with any incident polarization angle,bent fibers exhibit form birefringence with the principal axes fixed to the plane of curvature. The effect of this curvature-dependent birefringence can be compensated by either periodically altering the plane of curvature by 90 degrees or winding the fiber into a helix.
直的液芯光纤能够传输任意入射偏振角的线偏振光，而弯曲的光纤则会表现出形状双折射，其主轴固定在曲率平面内。这种与曲率相关的双折射效应可以通过将曲率平面周期性地改变90度或将光纤缠绕成螺旋状来补偿。
