    摘要: Two optical wavelengths are used to interrogate a fiber optic Fabry-Perot sensor ( 1-4) having a moveable diaphragm (34) that changes the width of a gap (36) between two reflective surfaces (38, 40). By picking the right operating point for the gap (36), the power output for one wavelength increases as the gap width changes and the power for the other wavelength decreases. A ratio of the difference of the two powers over the sum of the two powers is formed to generate a detected signal independent of power and phase fluctuations in a fiber (22) between signal sources (46, 48) and sensor (1-4) and between sensor ( 1-4) and detector (73). This ratio, which is called the visibility, has a response proportional to the pressure of acoustic disturbances that move the diaphragm (34). The push-pull sensor ( 1-4) can be used with both TDM and CW fan-out array architectures (45, 47).

    摘要: A method for balancing optical transmission for a first ON state and a second ON state of an electro-optic switch having an RF input port and a DC port, in one implementation, comprises the steps of associating a positive RF voltage with the first ON state of the electro-optic switch, associating a negative RF voltage with the second ON state of the electro-optic switch, wherein absolute value of the negative RF voltage associated with the second ON state is approximately equal to the positive RF voltage associated with the first ON state, and balancing optical transmission of the first ON state and the second ON state by adjusting a voltage applied to the DC port to obtain minimum optical transmission in an OFF state of the electro-optic switch.

    摘要: A beamsplitter (60) is arranged to split an incident laser beam into a pump beam (61) and a detection beam (83). The pump beam (61) passes through the beam splitter (60) and then reflects from a pair of mirrors (66, 78) to a quarter waveplate (74) into an interaction cell (76). After passing through the interaction cell (76), the pump beam (61) reflects from a mirror to a first photodetector. The detection beam (83) reflects from the beam splitter (60) and propagates on a path perpendicular to the path of the pump beam (61) through the interaction cell (76). After passing through the interaction cell (76), the detection beam (83) is incident upon a polarizer (84). The polarized portion of the detection beam (83) then is incident upon a photodetector (86).
