Abstract
The development of fiber optics technology for communications included the investigation of environmental effects on the properties of the fibers. One result of those investigations was the exploitation of the effects in sensors [1,2]. Many of the applications involve the strain-optic characteristics. This discussion will center, however, on the use of the Faraday effect.
