Stress Direction Measurement Based on Polarization State in Optical Fibers Using the Quaternion Method
The state of polarization (SOP) in a polarization-maintaining fiber subjected to external stress is studied using the quaternion method. The stress principal axis on the Poincare sphere is independent of intrinsic birefringence, but has a linear relationship with the direction of external stress. Th...
