摘要： An array (48, 49, 50, 51) of fiber optic couplers coupling an input (45) and an output (46) waveguide. The output waveguide (46) is routed among the couplers of the array such that either backward or forward coupling exists. With backward coupling, energy coupled into the output waveguide (46) in a coupler of the array is guided back to the preceding coupler for coupling back into the input waveguide (45).The backward coupling allows recirculations to occur between couplers to create poles and zeroes in the transfer function of the array which transfer function can be programmed or tailored somewhat to have specific characteristics. Further, the backward coupling allows the array to be used for matrix-vector multiplication.

摘要： The present invention discloses a thermally stable rare-earth doped fiber source comprising an active medium such as Erbium or Neodymium. The thermal stability of the mean wavelength of such a source is determined by three contributions as expressed by the following differential equation: ##EQU1## The first term is the intrinsic temperature dependence of the active medium, the second term is the pump power dependence and the third term is a contribution that arises from the dependence of the emission wavelength on the pump wavelength. The method of the present invention minimizes the temperature dependence on the mean wavelength by using the above equation and optimizing the values of the pump power and the pump wavelength so that the three contributions in the governing equation cancel each other.

摘要： An optical mode coupling apparatus includes an optical waveguide in which an optical signal at a signal wavelength propagates in a first spatial propagation mode and a second spatial propagation mode of the waveguide. The optical signal propagating in the waveguide has a beat length. The coupling apparatus includes a source of perturbational light signal at a perturbational wavelength that propagates in the waveguide in the first spatial propagation mode. The perturbational signal has a sufficient intensity distribution in the waveguide that it causes a perturbation of the effective refractive index of the first spatial propagation mode of the waveguide in accordance with the optical Kerr effect. The perturbation of the effective refractive index of the first spatial propagation mode of the optical waveguide causes a change in the differential phase delay in the optical signal propagating in the first and second spatial propagation modes. The change in the differential phase delay is detected as a change in the intensity distribution between two lobes of the optical intensity distribution pattern of an output signal. The perturbational light signal can be selectively enabled and disabled to selectively change the intensity distribution in the two lobes of the optical intensity distribution pattern.

摘要： A Brillouin fiber optic gyroscope having a feedback system which monitors the difference between counterpropagating Brillouin intensities and utilizes this difference in the form of a correction signal to control one of the circulating pump intensities so as to equalize the circulating pump intensities. The Brillouin fiber optic gyroscope further includes a second feedback system which detects electrical signals proportional to the phase-modulated, counterpropagating intensities in the gyroscope, and utilizes a combination of the electrical signals as an error signal to stabilize the resonant cavity at a length substantially equal to a length midway between the resonant lengths of the counterpropagating pump signals. The Brillouin fiber optic gyroscope of the present invention also provides a dynamic range of the gyroscope rotation rate that is twice the dynamic range of existing gyroscopes.

摘要： An optical fiber is subjected to a series of traveling flexural waves propagating along a length of the fiber. At least a portion of an optical signal propagating within the optical fiber in a first propagation mode is coupled to a second propagation mode. The optical signal in the second propagation mode has a frequency which is equal to either the sum of or the difference between the frequency of the optical signal in the first propagation mode and the frequency of the traveling flexural waves. The frequency of the optical signal in the second propagation mode is shifted upward or downward from the frequency of the optical signal in the first propagation mode as determined by the direction of propagation of the first optical signal with respect to the direction of propagation of the traveling flexural waves, and as also determined by whether the phase propagation velocity of the optical signal in the first propagation mode is greater than or less than the propagation velocity of the optical signal in the second propagation mode. An acoustic wave is induced in a generator having a gradual tapered cross-section. The generator preferably has the shape of a horn and is coaxially mounted with said optical fiber, so as to suppress the acoustic wave induced in the optical fiber in the reverse direction.

摘要： An improved broadband light source for a Sagnac interferometer includes a waveguide, such as a fluorescent optical fiber, that is pumped by a pump source with a sufficient intensity to generate temporally incoherent light. The fluorescent optical fiber has first and second ends, one end being an input end of the fiber. The broadband light is provided at an output of the fluorescent optical fiber and is input to the interferometer. In order to prevent laser oscillations between the light source and the interferometer, one end of the fluorescent optical fiber is formed so as to prevent reflections. The light output from the fluorescent fiber to the interferometer comprises only that light that initially propagates toward the output of the optical fiber. In one embodiment of the light source, the pump light from the pump source is coupled into the fluorescent optical fiber in a direction so that it travels away from the output of the fluorescent optical fiber towards the first end. In an alternative embodiment, the fluorescent optical fiber is a doubly clad optical fiber having a first acceptance region and a second acceptance region at the first end. The pump light is introduced into an aperture window between the two acceptance regions so that the pump light can be introduced into the first end at an angle without requiring a reflective surface at the first end.

摘要： An improved broadband light source for a Sagnac interferometer includes a fluorescent optical medium that is pumped by light from a pump source with a sufficient intensity to cause the fluorescent optical medium to generate temporally incoherent light by superfluorescence. In the preferred embodiment, the superfluorescent optical medium comprises an optical fiber which is backward pumped. The signal output from the interferometer loop is amplified by the optical gain of the superfluorescent fiber which acts as a light source and as an amplifier. In order to avoid gain modulation in the superflorescent fiber, the modulation frequency is selected so that the modulation gain depth is substantially reduced.

摘要： A re-entrant fiber optic interferometer comprises an optical fiber, forming a loop for recirculating an optical signal in the loop. The loop of optical fiber comprises an active material which emits photons at a first wavelength and responds to pumping in a second wavelength. Signal light at the first wavelength is input to the loop for circulation therein, and pump light at the second wavelength is input to the loop to optically pump the active material to emit light at the first wavelength. The invention also includes a multiplexing coupler which has different coupling ratios for the pump light and the signal light, such that only a fraction of the signal light is coupled out of the loop on each circulation about the loop, but substantially all of the pump light is coupled out of the loop after a single circulation, thereby suppressing pump phase noise in the loop.

摘要： A fiber optic rotation sensor using birefringent optical fiber includes an uncorrelating element, an equalizing element and a polarizer in the common input and output fiber portions of the sensor to reduce or eliminate the intensity type phase errors caused by interference between lightwaves originally in the same polarization mode on entry to the sensor loop that cross couple into another polarization mode. In the preferred embodiment, the uncorrelating element comprises a birefringence modulator and a length of birefringent fiber. The equalizing element comprises a birefringent fiber having a splice at which the axes of birefringence of the spliced portions of the fiber are positioned at 45.degree. relative to each other. The preferred embodiment also advantageously includes a birefringence modulator that introduces a time-varying birefringence into the optical fiber to introduce a deterministic phase error that reduces or eliminates amplitude type phase error caused by coherent interference between field components of light that are orthogonally polarized at the input of the sensor loop and that couple to the same polarization mode within the loop.
