Abstract

Development of the theoretical understanding of the principle of a new fiber optic polarimetric sensors based on deformation effects (such as those induced by hydrostatic pressure, longitudinal strain, twisting effect and temperature) on lowest-order mode propagation in highly birefringent polarization-maintaining fibers is discussed and the latest results of birefringence measurements in bow-tie and elliptical-core fibers influenced simultaneously by longitudinal strain and twisting effect are presented.
