Abstract
The characteristics of optical fiber are quite important for improving the performance of optical fiber communication and sensor systems. Based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, a new measuring method is proposed and the digital holograms between the single mode fibers (SMFs) and specialty double-cladding (DC) fibers are analyzed. The experimental results show that the fringe density can be changed under the conditions of coaxial and off-axial interferences. Therefore it can be used to analyze the optical fiber characteristics including refractive index distribution, fiber modes, phase difference, etc.
