High Sensitive Directional Twist Sensor Based on a Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

A new type of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is proposed to measure twist and temperature. The sensor contains a pretwisted taper and a ball. The pretwisted taper is made by pretwisted, and then, thermally tapering along a single-mode fiber, to induce permanent spiral distortion in the fiber. The...
