“…In the absence of PDL , the PSPs are mutually orthogonal and the third term in (7) vanishes. Formulas for the polarization-dependent effective delay in the absence of PDL first appeared in [7], where we assumed that DGD , and more recently in [8] and [10], where now the DGD could take any value DGD . Since the DGD measured in our system was always at most a few picoseconds, while the RF frequency was 2.5 GHz, the condition DGD is clearly satisfied.…”

“…Since the DGD measured in our system was always at most a few picoseconds, while the RF frequency was 2.5 GHz, the condition DGD is clearly satisfied. In this case, the polarization-dependent group delay is simply a weighted average of the maximum and minimum group delays with and weights, respectively [7]. Anticipating the possibility of some PDL in our sensor, we now assume that in (8), so that the effective delay in the presence of PDL becomes (Fig.…”

Abstract-The effect of fiber birefringence on the propagation delay in an embedded fiber-optic strain sensor is studied. The polarization characteristics of the sensor are described in terms of polarization mode dispersion through the principal states of polarization and their differential group delay. Using these descriptors, an analytical expression for the response of the sensor for an arbitrary input state of polarization is given and experimentally verified. It is found that the differential group delay, as well as the input and output principal states of polarization, vary when the embedded fiber is strained, leading to fluctuations in the sensor output. The use of high birefringence fibers and different embedding geometries is examined as a means for reducing the polarization dependency of the sensor.
