Abstract Optical fiber sensors are used in many engineering fields because of their numerous advantages such as high sensitivity, high resolution, low transmission loss, fast response, easy networking. Birefringence is the important physical properties of optical fiber with its characteristics and magnitude closely related to the pressure, torsion, magnetic field and other physical quantities of optical fiber. This thesis study the impact of optical fiber birefringence on optical fiber sensors and its applications with the focus on the impact of nonreciprocal circular birefringence effect caused by magnetic field and the impact of linear birefringence due to lateral pressure on fiber laser magnetic field sensors. A theoretical model of the relationship between the beat frequency and the sensitivity of fiber laser magnetic field sensor has been built. This thesis propose an optical tuning scheme for beat frequency tuning by tuning pump laser polarization, which can therefore be used to tune the sensor sensitivity. Besides, the thesis has also studied the impact of reciprocal circular birefringence due to fiber torsion on Brillouin distributed fiber sensing. The main contents of this thesis are as follows: Firstly, this thesis introduces the theory of birefringence and its representation method with classification and elaboration of the origin of birefringence phenomenon. The thesis has studied the effect of optical fiber birefringence and its applications mainly for optical fiber laser magnetic field sensors and Brillouin distributed fiber sensing. Secondly, we have raised four methods, namely CO2 laser
