A simple, low cost, liquid-core waveguidepolarimeter is presented. The rotation of polarized light was measured after passing through a hollow fiber containing the chiral solution of interest. Sensitivity was found to scale with fiber length. For compactness, the fiber can be curled into a right-angle figure 8 configuration and this eliminated any phase effects that would otherwise be introduced. The limit of detection was 0.3mM for both (S)-(−)-limonene and (R)-(+)-limonene using a 220.8cm long fiber with a run time of approximately 30s and a core volume of 38.9μl
