Abstract:
A method determines the complex scattering function of a portion of a sample under analysis. The method includes providing a magnitude spectrum of a complex spatial Fourier transform of a complex intermediate function. The complex intermediate function is dependent on the complex scattering function of the portion of the sample under analysis. The magnitude spectrum is obtained from power spectrum data of frequency-domain optical coherence tomography of the portion of the sample under analysis. The method further includes providing an estimated phase term of the complex spatial Fourier transform. The method further includes multiplying the magnitude spectrum and the estimated phase term together to generate an estimated complex spatial Fourier transform. The method further includes calculating an inverse Fourier transform of the estimated complex spatial Fourier transform. The inverse Fourier transform of the estimated complex spatial Fourier transform is a spatial function. The method further includes calculating an estimated intermediate function by applying at least one constraint to the inverse Fourier transform of the estimated complex spatial Fourier transform.
Abstract:
A method processes an optical image. The method includes providing a measured magnitude of the Fourier transform of a two-dimensional complex transmission function. The method further includes providing an estimated phase term of the Fourier transform of the two-dimensional complex transmission function. The method further includes multiplying the measured magnitude and the estimated phase term to generate an estimated Fourier transform of the two-dimensional complex transmission function. The method further includes calculating an inverse Fourier transform of the estimated Fourier transform, wherein the inverse Fourier transform is a spatial function. The method further includes calculating an estimated two-dimensional complex transmission function by applying at least one constraint to the inverse Fourier transform.
Abstract:
A process of poling a silica material such as an optical fiber whereby electro-optic non-linearities are induced so that the material can function as a phase modulator and switch in optical communications applications. The poling is effected at an elevated temperature on the order of 450° C. or higher, using an electric field on the order of 800 V/&mgr;m or higher for a period of time in the range of one minute to several tens of minutes.
