    摘要: An optical channel monitor is described, the optical channel monitor includes an optical input port, a photodetector disposed in an optical path communicating at least intermittently with the optical input port, an optical filter disposed in the optical path between the optical input port and the photodetector, and an optical band splitter disposed in the optical path between the optical filter and the photodetector. The optical filter is a multibandpass filter, such as a scanning Fabry-Perot filter. The optical channel monitor also comprises a reference light system for providing a calibration standard against which an optical signal input through the input port may be compared. The channel monitor finds application in optical transmission systems including wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication systems.

    摘要: A mobile telephone handset includes an elongated housing having a carabiner latch pivotally attached at a battery door on the rear side of the housing. The carabiner latch includes a hook portion having a spring-biased latch pivotally attached thereto for attaching the latch to a support element, such as a strap, loop or ring attached to a back-pack or other article of wearing apparel. The latch is stored within a door recess that receives the latch for storage purposes. The latch can be swung outwardly away from the housing to a variety of positions. A cylindrical projection is disposed within the door recess for frictionally receiving a central opening of the latch. A finger grip recess disposed within the door facilitates the grasping of the latch when it is disposed within the recess to facilitate swinging it away from the housing and out of the recess.

    摘要: A new optical sensing device containing fiber Bragg gratings, a scanning bandpass filter, an interferometer and multiple photodetectors is disclosed. The present invention also describes a new system and method for fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensor interrogation and multiplexing. The new system combines a scanning Fabry-Perot (SFP) bandpass filter used to wavelength-multiplex multiple gratings in a single fiber, and an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder fibre interferometer made with a 3×3 coupler to detect strain-induced wavelength shifts. A passive technique for interferometer drift compensation using non-sensing FBGs is included in the system. A complete prototype system interrogates four gratings in a single fiber at a Nyquist sampling rate up to 10 kHz, with a noise floor measured near 4 n&egr; Hz−1/2 above 0.1 Hz. The inclusion of the interferometer drift compensation technique is shown to make quasi-static measurements feasible.

    摘要: A passive, temperature compensated tunable filter calibration device in a Bragg-grating interrogation system. The invention comprises two systems: 1) a dual substrate Bragg grating calibration system, the temperature of an array of gratings is estimated using an array of gratings bonded to a common host substrate and a single grating bonded to a material with a different coefficient of thermal expansion; 2) a hydrogen cyanide wavelength reference absorption cell that absorbs light at discrete wavelengths corresponding to the molecular vibration mode frequencies of the gas. A first photodetector sees the transmission spectrum and a second sees the reflections from Bragg gratings in a sensing array. In this system there is no temperature compensation step as the absorption lines are not sensitive to temperature.

    摘要: The invention includes a method and apparatus for monitoring wavelength of an optical channel. A tunable optical bandpass filter is used to correlate a signal from an optical transmission line with a signal from a reference light source. The signal from the reference light source passes through a reference gas cell. The absorption lines of the reference gas provide a known calibration standard against which measured values may be compared. The invention finds applications in optical transmission systems, including wavelength division multiplexed and dense wavelength division multiplexed (WDM and DWDM) optical communication systems.

    摘要: A system for synchronizing chaotic transmitters and receivers that is less sensitive to channel effects than other known chaotic communication methods. The system employs duplicate transmitter and receiving modules and in addition to the chaotic output a synchronizing signal which occupies a reduced bandwidth. The small bandwidth affords the system a greater resistance to the affects of frequency dependent channel distortion and noise. The broad band chaotic signal is transmitted and appears to be noise to an unauthorized listener. The receiving unit employs band pass filtering, and when the signal is received the receiver filters the chaotic signal through band pass filters which eliminate channel noise and make gain control easier to implement.
