High resolution spectral metrology leveraging topologically enhanced optical activity in fibers

Optical rotation in a medium, which is typically small, can be enhanced by harnessing spin-orbit interaction in fiber modes. Here the authors use this effect to develop a fiber-based wavelength-measurement technique with high resolution.
