Abstract

A Mach-Zehnder and Michelson hybrid M² interferometer is proposed for measuring backscattering in hollow core photonic bandgap fibers (HC-PBFs). The M² interferometer has a very simple configuration with a sensitivity of about-142 dB and a spatial resolution of ∼ 37μm for an HC-PBF. This letter represents the first demonstration of high-resolution time-domain measurements of backscattering in a HC-PBF. The experimental results showed that the investigated seven-cell HC-PBF had a backscattering coefficient of about-88.5 dB/mm. A number of large, non-uniform, closely spaced reflective peaks were found in the backscattering results.
