Abstract (EN): Theoretical and experimental results of three different high-birefringent fiber loop mirrors with output ports are analyzed. For theoretical model, the Jones matrix analysis is used. The theoretical studies present similar results for all experimental configurations. The last configuration is tested as an interrogation system where the spectral response arises from the combination of the reference signal modulated by the sensor signal. The configuration is characterized in strain with the phase changes recovered from two quadrature phase signals, providing a sensitivity of 16 mrad/mu epsilon with a resolution of 1.9 mu epsilon.
