The influences that, the couplers with losses and constant coupling polarization dependent, and the birefringent of the optical fibers, both used for making these optical systems, introduce in the performances of the three interferometers, are studied and compared.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 1999, vol. 4016, 228-233}, publisher = {Photonics, Devices and Systems, 1999, Prague}, title = {Phenomenological approach to the analysis of the polarization effects in fiber optic interferometers}, author = {Arce Diego, José Luis and Morante Rábago, Miguel Ángel and Madruga Saavedra, Francisco Javier and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
