Would Faraday rotation of light by magnetic field still occur if the light was being guided in a polarization maintaining fiber such as one with a highly birefringent core?
What exactly would happen?
I can think of three scenarios: 1. The azimuth of the light is rotated. 2. It is not rotated - nothing happens. 3. It tries to rotate but can't couple into the orthogonal mode and attenuation occurs through loss.
