The evolution of polarization in fibers is simulated by the Jones matrix. To verify this theoretical model, a magneto-optical system is built to measure the input azimuth, output azimuth and ellipticity. The Faraday rotation of spun fibers with different pitches is measured. The Verdet constant increases, while the linear birefringence decreases as the pitch becomes smaller. For spun fibers with 1 mm pitch, the Verdet constant can be enhanced by about 20.7% at 660 nm, compared with that of the unspun fiber. The results indicate that smaller linear birefringence can provide more accurate Faraday rotation measurement.展开更多

The proposed PCF's birefringence is 10^(-3), which can reach 2 orders higher than that of traditional high birefringence fiber, and this equal diameter circular-hole structure reduces the difficulty of the actual drawing process. The effect of different parameters on the birefringence of this PCF is investigated, and the application of the Sagnac interferometer based on fiber filling technology in temperature sensing is studied. The result shows that the high birefringence PCF can be used in both optical communication and optical sensing fields.展开更多
