چکیده
A new all-fiber-optic nonreciprocal device using two acousto-optic frequency shifters is proposed and demonstrated. When the device was operated as an optical isolator, an extinction ratio of 22 dB was obtained. The device's unique modulation capability is also described.

A Study of Broadband Microwave Fiber Optic Links with Linearized Integrated-Optic Modulators
A universally accepted figure of merit for analog microwave transmission links is the spur-free dynamic range (SFDR), which is the ratio (usually expressed in dB) of the largest to smallest signal a link can transmit and receive without introducing any measurable distortion. This paper presents the result of a study of broadband, microwave fiber optic links that contain high-linearity integrate...
متن کاملFiber-optic gyroscopes based on polarization scrambling.
A novel fiber-optic gyroscope with a single-mode diode laser as the light source and two polarization scramblers as time-varying depolarizers is demonstrated. This arrangement reduces the nonreciprocal phase noise induced by the cross coupling between polarization modes in single-mode fibers. The experimental results show that a phase-noise reduction factor of 18 can be achieved.
متن کاملDetection of Excited Vibration Signals on the Latticed Fence Structure Using a Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor with Sagnac Interferometer
To detect external vibration signals on the latticed fence structure, distributed fiber optic sensor using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. Because of easy construction Sagnac interferometer was selected rather than MachZehnder type. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 180cm in width and 180cm in height, the optical fiber, 50m in length, distributed and fixed on ...
متن کاملEffect of Modulation Error on All Optical Fiber Current Transformers
For actively modulated In-line Sagnac interferential all optic fiber current transformers (AOFCTs), the accuracies are directly affected by the amplitude of the modulation signal. In order to deeply undertand the function of the modulator, a theoretical model of modulation effect to AOFCTs is built up in this paper. The effect of the amplitude of the modulation signal to the output intensity of...
متن کاملCW cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) with a semiconductor optical amplifier as intensity modulator
We summarized both advantages and disadvantages of different light modulators used in cw-CRDS experiments. For the first time, we introduce the use of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as light modulator in cw-CRDS. A direct comparison of the sensitivity realized on the same instrument using an SOA as modulator with use of an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) has been made. It is found that t...
