摘要：

Spectral interference of white-light beams propagating through a tandem configuration of birefringent crystal and sensing birefringent fiber is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The spectral interference law is expressed analytically under the condition of a Gaussian response function of a spectrometer taking into account the dispersion of birefringence in the crystal and in the fiber. Two types of spectral interferograms are modeled knowing dispersion characteristics of the sensing fiber and using a quartz crystal of the positive or a calcite crystal of the negative birefringence. The theoretical analysis is accompanied by two experiments employing a highly birefringent fiber and a birefringent quartz crystal of two suitable thicknesses. Within both experiments the spectral interference fringes are resolved in accordance with the theory with phases dependent on the fiber length. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
