A twist sensor based on polarization-maintaining fibers with different cladding diameters

A fiber twist sensor using a Sagnac interferometer incorporating a tapered polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) is proposed. The transmission properties of the sensor are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Given the optoelastic effect, which depends on...
