چکیده
The propagation of the light that is emitted from both the tunable Ti:Sapphire laser (single mode) and the Coherent FAPs (multimode) is found to be modeled very well using gaussian optics. This is useful when trying to obtain a beam of a certain size at some prescribed distance from a converging lens. This technote will describe (1) gaussian optics, (2) how to calculate the beam radius after passing through a thin converging lens, and (3) measurements made to obtain the gaussian beam parameters of the lasers in the lab. describe gaussian beam optics tabulate results from combiner and diffuser tests

A single source microwave photonic filter using a novel single-mode fiber to multimode fiber coupling technique.
In this paper we present a fully tunable and reconfigurable single-laser multi-tap microwave photonic FIR filter that utilizes a special SM-to-MM combiner to sum the taps. The filter requires only a single laser source for all the taps and a passive component, a SM-to-MM combiner, for incoherent summing of signal. The SM-to-MM combiner does not produce optical interference during signal merging...
متن کاملNicoLase—An open-source diode laser combiner, fiber launch, and sequencing controller for fluorescence microscopy
Modern fluorescence microscopy requires software-controlled illumination sources with high power across a wide range of wavelengths. Diode lasers meet the power requirements and combining multiple units into a single fiber launch expands their capability across the required spectral range. We present the NicoLase, an open-source diode laser combiner, fiber launch, and software sequence controll...
متن کاملReconfigurable optical power splitter/combiner based on Opto-VLSI processing.
A novel 1×4 reconfigurable optical splitter/combiner structure based on Opto-VLSI processor and 4-f imaging system with high resolution is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By uploading optimized multicasting phase holograms onto the software-driven Opto-VLSI processor, an input optical signal is dynamically split into different output fiber ports with user-defined splitting ratios. Als...
متن کاملMultiple Channel Laser Beam Combination and Phasing Using Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Optical Fibers
Brightness scaling lasers using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in optical fibers is explored. A multiple-channel amplifier approach is used to increase the total power of a laser system while avoiding a significant burden on a single channel. The work explores two approaches utilizing both SBS beam cleanup and SBS piston error conjugation. A unique beam combiner that takes advantage of t...
متن کاملIntravascular atherosclerotic imaging with combined fluorescence and optical coherence tomography probe based on a double-clad fiber combiner.
We developed a multimodality fluorescence and optical coherence tomography probe based on a double-clad fiber (DCF) combiner. The probe is composed of a DCF combiner, grin lens, and micromotor in the distal end. An integrated swept-source optical coherence tomography and fluorescence intensity imaging system was developed based on the combined probe for the early diagnoses of atherosclerosis. T...
