The sensor systems measure a magnetic field using inorganic and/or organic magneto-optically active materials, e.g. polymer material and have an interferometer based on Faraday rotation. The polymer material is preferably in the form of a film. The polymer material has an optical property that is sensitive to the magnetic field, e.g. the Faraday rotation effect. The present invention also provides a sensor head structure comprising the above polymer material. The sensor head may be designed for use with an optical fiber or with mirrors. In particular the present invention provides a fiber Sagnac interferometer to measure the rotation of polarized plane of light. The present invention provides a fiber or mirror based Sagnac interferometer with passive phase bias applied to magnetic field sensing. This invention has the following three major aspects each being an embodiment of the present invention: 1. Sensing material: a conjugate polymer such as polythiophene and/or a polymer containing superparamagnetic nanoparticles that exhibits a giant Faraday rotation. 2. Magnetic field probe that incorporates the above polymer or polymer/nanoparticle composite, e.g. in the form of a film. 3. Sensor: The sensor combines an optical fiber-based Sagnac interferometer and the above magnetic field probe.

    Abstract: An optical fiber amplifier utilizing a phosphate glass optical fiber highly doped with rare-earth ions such as erbium to exhibit high gain per unit length, enabling the use of short fiber strands to achieve the needed gain in practical fiber optical communication networks. The high-gain phosphate optical glass fiber amplifiers are integrated onto substrates to form an integrated optics amplifier module. An optical pump such as a semiconductor laser of suitable wavelength is used to promote gain inversion of erbium ions and ultimately provide power amplification of a given input signal. Gain inversion is enhanced in the erbium doped phosphate glass fiber by co-doping with ytterbium. A phosphate fiber amplifier or an integrated optics amplifier module utilizing this power amplification can be combined with other components such as splitters, combiners, modulators, or arrayed waveguide gratings to form lossless or amplified components that do not suffer from insertion loss when added to an optical network. The fiber amplifier can be a single fiber or an array of fibers. Further, the phosphate glass fibers can be designed with a temperature coefficient of refractive index close to zero enabling proper mode performance as ambient temperatures or induced heating changes the temperature of the phosphate glass fiber. Large core 50-100 &mgr;m fibers can be used for fiber amplifiers. The phosphate glass composition includes erbium concentrations of at least 1.5 weight percentage, preferably further including ytterbium at 1.5 weight percentage, or greater.

    Abstract: A first optical fiber (12) having a first end and a second end is connected to a multimode second optical fiber (14) at the second end. The first optical fiber (12) outputs a substantially single mode optical beam at its second end. The multimode second optical fiber (14) converts light in the optical beam of single mode from the first optical fiber to light of multiple modes, and provides an output beam that has less diffractive spreading than that of a Gaussian beam.

The gain section and the at least one passive section comprise an optical cavity which selectively promotes in-phase light emission from the optical cavity. An alternative optical device which includes a gain section having a plurality of core regions including dopant species configured to absorb incident radiation at a first wavelength and emit radiation at a second wavelength, and 2) two passive sections attached to the gain section at opposite ends. In this alternative optical device, the gain section and the two passive sections comprise an optical cavity which selectively promotes in-phase light emission from the optical cavity such that the light emission from the optical cavity, in a far field, has a singular Gaussian-like intensity distribution about a longitudinal axis extending from the optical cavity.
