Abstract:An in-fiber Michelson interferometer (MI) inclinometer, which consists of misalignment-spliced fiber with end coating, is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The incident light divided at the misalignment-spliced joint is reflected at the end coating, and then re-coupled into the core of the fiber. Due to the phase difference between the core mode and the cladding mode, a typical Michelson interference is obtained. The fiber near the misalignment-spliced joint is inserted in two capillary quartz tubes. T… Show more
