Abstract
A fiber-optic interferometer is provided. The interferometer includes a first dual-mode optical fiber for receiving a light input and exciting a first and a second spatial, modes, a first modal processor connected to the first dual-mode optical fiber for selecting the first and the second spatial modes, a second dual-mode optical fiber connected to the first modal processor for propagating the first and the second spatial modes and producing a phase shift (Δφ) between the first and the second spatial modes in response to an external perturbation effect, a second modal processor connected to the second dual-mode optical fiber for re-selecting the first and the second spatial modes and producing a first light output interference pattern, and an analyzer connected to the second modal filter for adjusting the first light output interference pattern to produce a second light output interference pattern.
