Abstract: We report on enhanced torsion sensitivity by using a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber (HB-PCF)-based Sagnac interferometer. In order to increase the torsion sensitivity, we ...

Data in 5D Optical Memory is intended to last for millennia. The US company SPhotonix is thus competing against rivals such ...

Birefringence is the optical property of materials having refractive indices, which depend both on the polarization and propagation direction of the incident light. The best characterized materials ...

Abstract: The technique of nonreciprocal phase modulation, known from Sagnac-type interferometers, is adopted to interrogate the differential phase shift of the orthogonal light waves in a ...
