In this work, two all polarization-maintaining (PM) highbirefringence
(Hi-Bi) fiber loop mirrors (FLM) which are immune to
external polarization perturbations are validated both theoretically and
experimentally. Simplified and stable versions of classical FLMs were
attained using a PM-coupler and by fusing the different Hi-Bi fiber sections
with an adequate rotation angle between them. Since the polarization states
are fixed along the whole fiber loop, no polarization controllers are needed.
This simplifies the operation and increases the stability of the systems,
which were also validated as ultra-high resolution sensors, experimentally
obtaining a resolution of 6.2·10−4 °C without averaging. [--]
