Abstract
The strain and temperature sensitivities of three common commercial hi gh-birefringent polarization-maintaining fibers (bow-tie, polarization -maintaining and absorption-reducing, and elliptical core fibers) have been measured by using a dynamic polarimetric method. The experimenta l setup and measuring process are described in detail. Where possible, the measuring data are compared with published data, and good agreeme nt is obtained.
