摘要:
A polarization mode dispersion (PMD) feedforward compensator compensates first and second order PMD. An optical signal is provided to a PMD detector that senses first and second order PMD in the optical signal and produces control signals for the PMD compensator. The PMD compensator comprises, in series, a first polarization controller, an adjustable delay, a second polarization controller, a first fixed delay, a third polarization controller and a second fixed delay.

A PMD emulator includes at least two polarization phase plates. The rotation matrix of the at two phase plates are varied to reduce the required number of phase-plates without reducing the number of birefringent segments used.

A device for producing laser radiation, the device comprising: an elongate sample of a quasi-three-level laser material; a source of pumping radiation; and a concentrator configured such that at least some of the pumping radiation emitted by the source of pumping radiation is concentrated by the concentrator and subsequently enters the sample through a side surface thereof.

A PMD device includes a first stage that receives a signal and performs rotation about {1,0,0} on the signal. The first stage outputs a first signal. A second stage receives the first signal and performs a rotation about {0,0,1} on the first signal. The second stage outputs a second signal that represents the alignment the PMD of various frequencies into a common direction. A third stage receives the second signal and provides the necessary frequency dependent variable in the {1,0,0} direction to cancel the PMD in any specified frequency range.

A device for producing laser radiation having a wavelength of about 2 μm, the device comprising: a solid-state sample capable of producing lasing transitions corresponding to a wavelength of about 2 μm; and a source of pumping radiation having a wavelength of about 1 μm, the source being arranged so that at least some of the radiation produced thereby is absorbed by the solid-state sample, causing the solid-state sample to emit radiation having a wavelength of about 2 μm.
摘要:
A polarization controller includes a phase retarder having a rotation about an {1,0,0} axis that receives an optical signal from a waveguide structure. At least one nanoelectromechanical dielectric perturber produces ±45° birefringent axes by placing the at least one nanoelectromechanical dielectric perturber at selective positions around the phase retarder to produce dynamic change in the effective index in one of the modes existent in an extraordinary axial direction.

摘要:
In optical media (e.g., an optical fiber) having first and second order polarization mode dispersion, the relationship between the polarization mode dispersion and the change in the measured averaged state of polarization of an optical signal in the media as a function of the signal's bandwidth can be predictable. Accordingly, first and second order polarization can be determined by measuring a series of the averaged state of polarization's for an optical signal with varying signal bandwidths.

A PMD device includes a first stage that receives a signal and performs rotation about {1,0,0} on the signal. The first stage outputs a first signal. A second stage receives the first signal and performs a rotation about {0,0,1 } on the first signal. The second stage outputs a second signal that represents the alignment the PMD of various frequencies into a common direction. A third stage receives the second signal and provides the necessary frequency dependent variable in the {1,0,0} direction to cancel the PMD in any specified frequency range.
摘要:
A laser vibrometer makes non-contact measurements of vibrations of a target. A laser produces a laser beam, and a beamsplitter splits the laser beam into a reference beam and a first target beam. A first frequency shifter/splitter splits the first target beam into a pair of target beams each having a frequency different than a frequency of the other target beams. The target beams are reflected from the target to a detector, and the reference beam is combined with the target beams such that the detector receives the target beams and reference beam together.
