Measurement-efficient optical wavemeters.
We describe a method for efficiently determining the wavelength of a monochromatic source and provide an experimental proof-of-concept. The photomeasurement efficiency for a wavemeter can be written as eta(N,q) = (1 + logqN)/m, where N is the number of spectral channels, q is the number of distinguishable output levels per photodetector, and m is the actual number of photomeasurements made. An ...
متن کاملEfficient measurement of broadband terahertz optical activity
We report a method to determine the four Stokes parameters of each spectral component in a broadband terahertz (THz) pulse by using a continuously rotating analyzer and a standard THz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) instrument. A complete characterization of the polarization state at each frequency is obtained through a single time-domain measurement. Our method requires no specialized THz e...
متن کاملFibre optics wavemeters calibration using a self-referenced optical frequency comb.
Self-referenced optical frequency combs enable the measurement of optical frequencies with a very high accuracy, achieving uncertainties close to the atomic clock used as reference (<10(-13) s). In this paper, we present the technique for the measurement of laser frequencies for optical communications followed at IO-CSIC and its application to the calibration of two wavemeters in the 1.5 μm opt...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Model Reduction in Diffuse Optical Tomography
We present an efficient method for the reduction of model equations in the linearized diffuse optical tomography (DOT) problem. We first implement the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator and Tikhonov regularization, which are based on applying preconditioners to linear perturbation equations. For model reduction, the precondition is split into two parts: the principal components are consid...
متن کاملOptical phase measurement emphasized
In undergraduate optics laboratory, one thing that is not easily achieved is quantitative measurement of optical phase. The reason is that optical phase measurement usually requires expensive interferometers. We demonstrate measurement of relative optical phase shift upon total internal reflection. Total internal reflection, though known by every student of optics, is remembered by 100% reflect...
