Integrated-optic versus microoptic devices for fiber-optic telecommunication systems: a comparison

Fiber Optic Devices and Systems

Fiber Optic Interferometric Devices

Fiber optic interferometry can be broadly explained as the techniques that utilize the fundamental principles of optical interference to measure physical sample properties or detect changes via sensing systems that are partially or completely realized using fiber optic components. While the field of optical interference dates back to second half of seventeenth century, the advent of fiber optic...

A fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions

In this paper, the set-up of a multi-mode fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions is investigated and evaluated. The basis of this sensor is based on the Fresnel Reflection. In this setup, a helium-neon laser is used as a light source, a fiber optic probe, photocell as detector and a digital multimeter. The statistical analysis of the recorded data shows a highly linear be...

Designing Fiber Optic Systems

Lasers and LEDS Electrical to optical video converters generally have a BNC coaxial cable connector at the input and a fiber optic connector on the output. In order to get the digital bits down the fiber optic cable, a light emitting device is used, onto which the digital signal is modulated. Either a laser or an LED (Light Emitting Diode) is used for this purpose. Lasers are more expensive, bu...
