We present very simple expressions for scaling the well-known first- and second-order modes dispersion curves of circular core fibers in order to predict the propagation characteristics of symmetric waveguides with rectangular or elliptical cores. Th

A finite element formulation for solving the scalar wave equation is described. The proposed formulation leads to an eigenvalue problem defined in terms of positive definite matrices. Therefore, convergence of the two first eigenvectors/eigenvalues t

A temperature- and strain-compensated two-mode fiber-optic bending sensor is presented. This sensor has the unique ability to measure bending over complex and arbitrary paths, using a strictly passive sensing tether. Experimental evidence demonstrate

The output signal of a birefringent fiber gyroscope is analyzed, and sources of error due to polarization cross coupling in the fiber and fiber components are identified. Techniques to suppress such errors by modulating the fiber birefringence and ba

The sensing mechanism of an optical fiber accelerometer based on the interaction between the frequency shifted two modes in a two-mode fiber with an off-center core is presented. When the fiber is bent, by the action of an acceleration in a specific

We describe a new configuration for an optical fiber acousto-optic frequency shifter using a section of two-mode fiber where acousto-optic interaction causes mode-convertion accompanied by single sideband frequency translation. A fiexural acoustic wa

Imperfections of a phase modulator driven below the proper modulation frequency of a fiber gyroscope can cause offset of the output signal, limiting long term stability. Bias drift induced by non-linear effects in the phase modulator was studied and

A simple technique is presented for azimuthal alignment of the birefringent axes of a polarization maintaining fiber at a splicing point. Alignment accuracy better than ±0.01 is consistently obtained and is fairly independent of polarization cross c

It is shown that a small slope in the core index profile of a two-mode optical fiber causes the LP01 and LP11 modes to experience different shifts from the geometrical center of the fiber. This effect increases by orders of magnitude the bend sensiti
