Reflective fiber ring resonator with polarization-independent operation.
A polarization-insensitive fiber-optic ring-resonator configuration based on a reflective mode of operation with a Faraday rotator mirror for birefringence compensation is reported. An output resonant-dip transfer function that is independent of the input polarization to the system is obtained, which is shown to produce a stable scale factor of the system.
