Abstract
We present an exact solution for the polarization evolution in a single-mode optical fiber when the self-induced, the intrinsic, and the twist-induced birefringences are taken into account and the stability characteristics of the nonlinear eigenpolarizations are studied. The relevance of the theory for the operation of nonlinear-optical signal-processing devices is discussed.
