contents This paper examines the polarization-dependent output of various types of 3-mode photonic lanterns fabricated using double-clad fibers. We explore the sensitivity of the modal response across several types of photonic lanterns, from the fully symmetric and strongly coupled structure of regular photonic lanterns to the fully asymmetric structure of mode-selective photonic lanterns. We demonstrate the high sensitivity of the output of photonic lanterns with strong coupling between their ports to the polarization of the input state. In contrast, ports with high isolation or low coupling, such as in mode-selective photonic lanterns, exhibit responses that are almost polarization independent.
