English term or phrase: eigenaxes
One approach for reducing this problem may be to use a high birefringence or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber on the PZT and to ensure that the input polarization to the PM fiber is aligned with one of the fiber eigenaxes.

egenakser
Explanation:
... en av fiberens egenakser (alternativt karakteristiske akser)

eigen: from the German eigen meaning "inherent, characteristic"

Egenaksene er aksene for de to refraksjonsindeksene i en polarisasjonsbibeholdende fiber som holder de to ortogonale modiene maksimalt adskilt. Den piezoelektriske giveren må sende lys med polarisasjon tilsvarende en av disse aksene inn i fiberen. Litt mer info:

\"To realize the benefits of a polarization-maintaining fiber — for example, making physical measurements by the interference of two coherent beams — special single-mode fibers are fabricated so that the modal birefringence is maximized. This is done by maximizing the geometrical portion of the birefringence (for example, by using a noncircular core shape), or by maximizing the material birefringence (by induced strain in the fiber).

Polarization-maintaining fibers are utilized when the difference in the propagation of the two orthogonal modes offers benefits. In fiber sensors, for example, the difference in propagation of one of the orthogonal polarizations is subjected to a parameter being measured (such as magnetic field or pressure) and is compared to another fiber leg serving as a reference.\"
