French term or phrase: fixé
Good morning,

Ce système de stabilisation, combinant avantageusement un guide d'onde non-linéaire, des faisceaux d'entrée et de pompe contra-propagatifs, ainsi qu'un ajustement judicieux du spectre du faisceau de pompe, permet d'attirer l'état de polarisation en sortie du guide d'onde vers un état de polarisation bien déterminé, fixé uniquement par la biréfringence résiduelle du guide et par l'état de polarisation de la pompe.

solely set by the residual birefringence ?

Thank you

Explanation:
But, not "solely set by".

set only by the residual birefraction ... is OK.
set solely by the residual birefraction ... is not, because it cannot be solely set by two criteria, only by one.

Note: in the above, the second criterion is, of course, "l'état de polarisation de la pompe".
