The two inserted sections of HiBi fiber have different functions; while one section acts as the temperature sensitive region, the other can be used as reference fiber. The temperature and twist sensor based on the proposed interferometer structure have been experimentally demonstrated. The experimental results show that the envelope of the output spectrum will shift with the temperature evolution. The temperature sensitivity is calculated to be \u221217.99 nm\/\u00b0C, which is enlarged over 12 times compared to that of the single Sagnac interferometer. Additionally, the fringe visibility of the spectrum will change due to the fiber twist, and the test results reveal that the fringe visibility and twist angle perfectly conform to a Sine relationship over a 360\u00b0 twist angle. Consequently, simultaneous torsion and temperature measurement could be realized by detecting the envelope shift and fringe visibility of the spectrum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16101774","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,24]],"date-time":"2016-10-24T10:46:39Z","timestamp":1477305999000},"page":"1774","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Optical Fiber Temperature and Torsion Sensor Based on Lyot-Sagnac Interferometer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1272-1959","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li-Yang","family":"Shao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinpu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1332-4675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haijun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiyong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xihua","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lianshan","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Information Photonics &amp; Communications, School of Information Science and Technology, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 611756, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2382","DOI":"10.1364\/AO.44.002382","article-title":"High-birefringence fiber loop mirrors and their applications as sensors","volume":"44","author":"Liu","year":"2005","journal-title":"Appl.
