Abstract
Fiber devices are promising for many fiber sensor application systems. Before developing polarization-maintaining fibers, the functions for fiber devices are limited into a few kinds. Since polarization-maintaining fibers have been developed [l],, many kinds of fiber devices have been proposed as new applications such as coherent optical transmission systems, fiber optic gyroscopes etc.. Fiber devices and their application reported upto now are summarized in Table 1. This paper reviews recent fiber devices mainly based on single-mode and polarization-maintaining fibers.
