Fiber Optics in Curved Space-Times

TB Mieling, M Hudelist - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.23048, 2024 - arxiv.org
Single-mode fibers are used in fiber-optic gyroscopes to measure the Sagnac effect and are
planned to be used in forthcoming experiments on the gravitationally induced phase shift in …

Elastically induced phase-shift and birefringence in optical fibers

E Steininger, T Mieling, PT Chruściel - arxiv preprint arxiv:2502.07099, 2025 - arxiv.org
We compute how elastic deformations of optical fibers affect light propagation therein.
Specifically, we consider differences in wave-guiding properties of straight fibers subject to …
