摘要：

When two orthogonally polarized optical waves are launched into an optical medium they may experience a loss in orthogonality. We derive a simple bound on this loss. Our result predicts that orthogonality is virtually preserved for many common single-mode optical components (for example, long lengths of fibers, directional couplers and filters).
