نویسندگان
چکیده
An optical fiber ring resonatory sensor system has been demonstrated by applying a triangular phase modulation signal to a fiber loop. The dynamic range for detection of optical phase change is 2pi. The sensor is linear within this range. The minimum detectable optical phase change is 1.5 x10(-4) rad/Hz((1/2)).

Polarization Analysis of Brillouin Scattering in a Circularly Birefringent Fiber Ring Resonator
A complete analysis of the eigenstate of polarization (ESOP’s) in a Brillouin fiber ring laser using fibers with a high circular birefringence is proposed in this paper. Conditions to obtain circular ESOP’s for application in a Brillouin fiber optic current sensor are highlighted as well as conditions to have stable ESOP’s for applications in other passive or active sensors. Measurements are pe...
متن کاملModeling of an Optical Sensor Based on Whispering Gallery Modes (WGMs) on the Surface Guiding Layer of Glass Filaments
A ring-resonator-based refractive index sensor is proposed in this paper. Glass filaments with surface guiding layers created by ion exchange are crossed with a fiber taper to act as a ring resonator sensor. Theoretical simulation of the sensor response is proposed, and optimization of structural parameters including thickness and refractive index of the surface guiding layer and the diameter o...
متن کاملEnhanced all-optical switching by use of a nonlinear fiber ring resonator.
We predict dramatically reduced switching thresholds for nonlinear optical devices incorporating fiber ring resonators. The circulating power in such a resonator is much larger than the incident power; also, the phase of the transmitted light varies rapidly with the single-pass phase shift. The combined action of these effects leads to a finesse-squared reduction in the switching threshold, all...
متن کاملAdiabatic breakdown in a fiber ring resonator
I consider a topological transition resulting in an abrupt change by of the geometric (Berry’s) phase occurring in an optical modulator based on a fiber ring resonator. The topological transition, induced by modifying the birefringence along the ring, manifests itself in a narrow resonance in the transmission of the optical modulator. Contrary to the adiabatic case, the condition of critical co...
متن کاملLoss and gyroscopic sensing using Rayleigh scattering in a fiber ring resonator
The idea of interrogating a fiber-optic ring using an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) was originally developed for checking the linearity of the OTDR. But it tuns out that the trace delivered by the OTDR is strongly modified when the quality factor of the ring resonator increases. Thus a complete model of the OTDR response taking account on the coherence properties of the Rayleigh diff...
