摘要
A miniature polarimetric interferometer with the twist of a highly-birefringent microfiber is demonstrated. Good transmission spectral characteristics, which are co-governed by the birefringence and the twist degree of the microfiber, are investigated. The structure exhibits extremely-high sensitivity of around 24,373 nm per refractive-index unit and excellent temperature stability of better than 0.005nm/degrees C. Featured with compactness, reconfigurability, stability, robustness, and compatibility with other fiberized components, our device has potential in tunable filtering, sensing, multi-wavelength lasing, and etc. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
