Abstract
Polarization-independent fiber-optic filters are presented that replac e the polarizers in traditional birefringence filters with a Sagnac in terferometer, The performance of these filters is discussed when Sole and Lyot type birefringence combinations are used, A high-order, compo und filter combining these two filters is presented, along with experi mental verification.
