This paper presents the effect of light polarization in a hybrid fiber optic sensor. The hybrid sensor is defined as a combination of interferometer sensor and modalmetric sensor. Hybrid sensor system is based on the effect of outputting interferometric sensor of interference as a result of changes made by the modalmetric system. Balance of polarization in the arms of classical interferometer sensor leads to improvement of contrast of interference pattern at the output of the interferometer. Aim of this study is to present a balance light polarization effects in a hybrid system.
