Abstract

The paper presents the analysis and enhancements of interferometric methods which may provide better quality projections for tomographic, in-line determination of geometry and refractive index distribution changes along classical as well as photonic crystal fiber tapering structure. The method and system provides high optical resolution and sensitivity for determination of refractive index changes. It also provides the possibility of investigation of structures with and without circular symmetry of refractive index distribution. In the paper the interferometric tomography method in Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration is applied and the measurements of classical and photonics crystal fibers are presented. The analysis of future use of in-line digital holographic method coupled with a variety of techniques for enhanced phase reconstruction is performed.
