Measurement of the magnetic birefringence of noble gases [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Optical Society of America B, 1984
The Cotton–Mouton constants of argon, krypton, and xenon have been measured relative to nitrogen at room temperature and ambient pressure for λ = 514.5 nm. Upper limits for helium and neon have been determined. The sensitivity of the apparatus was Δnmin = 0.8 × 10−14 for a measuring time of 1 sec.

Distributed Birefringence Measurement of a Polarization-Maintaining Fiber With an Extended Range Based on an Enhanced Brillouin Dynamic Grating

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2020
A distributed birefringence measurement of a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) can be realized by using a Brillouin dynamic grating (BDG). However, the pump depletion decreases the intensity of the BDG along the PMF and limits the measurement range to

Mitigation of the birefringence dispersion on the polarization coupling measurement in a long-distance high-birefringence fiber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Due to the birefringence dispersion, the polarization coupling parameter measurement in high-birefringence fiber decreases obviously with the fiber length, especially for long-distance fibers.

Measurements of flow-induced birefringence in microfluidics [PDF]

open access: yesBiomicrofluidics, 2016
In this study, we demonstrate the use of a microscopic circular polariscope to measure the flow-induced birefringence in a microfluidic device that represents the kinematics of fluid motion optically. Unlike the commercial birefringence microscope employed in the previous studies, our approach is able to provide direct measurement of retardance, which ...

Polarization properties of interferometrically interrogated fiber Bragg grating and tandem-interferometer strain sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Lead sensitivity in low-coherence interferometric fiber-optic sensors is a well-known problem. It can lead to a severe degradation in the sensor resolution and accuracy through its effect on the fringe visibility and interferometric phase.

A transverse loading technique to enhance the pressure measurement capability of fibre Bragg gratings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A fibre optic pressure sensor based on the application of a transverse load onto an epoxy-resin material embedded over a sub-section of a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) is presented.

Zero-birefringence pressure-sensitive adhesives

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2012
We have developed zero-birefringence pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) that exhibit almost no birefringence at any orientation of polymer chains. To evaluate the birefringence of PSAs quantitatively, we report a novel birefringence-measurement method ...

Highly Precise Birefringence Demodulation to Overcome the Sensing Limitation From the Free Spectral Range on the Fiber Lyot Filter

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
A high precision demodulation method based on least squares fitting for expanding the temperature measurement range of the fiber Lyot filter has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. And a compact reflective Lyot filter has also been proposed to
