Abstract
The transmission characteristics of Sagnac fiber loop interferometer which consists two sections of polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) spliced at different offset angles were analyzed. Based on the simulation results, an application for twist measurement where PMFs were spliced at different offset angles was designed. When the lengths of two PMFs are equal, a clear spectrum can be obtained for twist or torsion sensing. A phenomenon that the dips would split or merge with twist angle alteration can be used for sensing. Measurement range and sensitivity can be adjusted by changing the PMFs offset angle. The sensitivity was improved by calculating the distance between two adjacent dips, being 0.73 nm/° or 8.37 nm/(rad/m) when the offset angle was 75°.
