Effects on the Energy Flux Density Due to Pitch in Twisted Clad Optical Fibers

Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 139, 643-654, 2013
Abstract
The paper deals with the propagation of electromagnetic waves through twisted clad dielectric optical fibers. The structure of these fibers is analogous to travelling wave tubes used in microwave devices, and the usefulness would be in the areas of optical sensing. This is because the twists in fiber would be affected due to the imposed stress and/or strain, leaving thereby the possibility to alter the propagation characteristics. A rigorous analytical investigation has been carried out with the emphasis on the energy flux density patterns due to the different propagating modes in the fiber. The dispersion relations of the system are deduced and the energy flux densities are evaluated under different pitch angles of twist. The effect due to conducting helix pitch on the electromagnetic wave propagation is emphasized.
