Measurement of Rotatory Optics Element in Tensor Dielectric Matrix for Rotatory Optical Fiber

The rotatory optics element in the tensor dielectric coefficient matrix is an important parameter for analyzing and calculating a rotatory optical fiber by electromagnetic theory. But the measurement of rotatory optics element is difficult for the rotatory optical fiber. A simple principle and method for measuring rotatory optics element are put forward in this paper. Firstly by using electromagnetic theory it was demonstrated that the rotatory optics element has a simple linear relation with the rotatory angle, and then the rotatory optics element has a simple linear relation with the magnetic field strength (or bias current in the helix coil) . Secondly a measurement system for the rotatory optics element in the rotatory optical fiber was designed. Using the measurement system the rotatory element can be obtained by measuring the bias current simply.
