A polarisation controller comprising four lengths of PM fibre wound onto piezoelectric cylinders has been produced. It is mechanically rugged, has an insertion loss of 1.5 dB, and is capable of endless control between two arbitrary time-varying states of polarisation. Polarisation control has been successfully demonstrated for the first time in a coherent optical transmission system over installed fibre.
