Abstract
Circularly birefringent fibers can be very useful in sensor applications. Wish per-unit-length circular birefringence is obviously the first property one looks for. But low loss is another very important requirement, and field mismatch loss at the input has also to be accounted for, if a circularly birefringent fiber is excited by a TEM,, laser beam or by the LP01 mode of an isotropic fiber.
