Weighted sensitivity optical fiber sensors: theory and applications

The polarimetric behavior of conventional dual mode, elliptical-core, optical fiber sensors is investigated. To compliment the experimental results, a novel linearly polarized modal analysis of elliptical-core geometries is performed. The method numerically finds solutions of a waveguide equation de...
