Abstract

Spun fiber has been used for current-sensing applications for decades. However, in actual situation, disturbance like squeezing or bending of spun fibers often causes evolution of polarization and eventually causes Faraday phase shift error. In this paper, we try to find out how bending will influence the polarization state of propagating light in spun fiber. We use a big bending spun fiber coil (50 cm in diameter) with a small disturbance coil (2-3cm in diameter) to easily simulate and quantify the magnitude of fiber bending. We calculate the polarization states of the left-hand and right-hand circular polarizations by solving differential equation of a spun fiber coil placed in the magnetic field generated by a current. Our results show that fiber bending will weaken the polarization-maintaining ability of spun fiber, causing polarization state oscillates periodically.
