    摘要: A fiber optic tapped delay line is disclosed in which a number of bends in a single optical fiber are formed to obtain taps of an optical signal traveling in that fiber at each bend location. Light removed at the bends is directed to a focusing lens, which focuses the light onto a photodetector acting as a summing device to produce a frequency-filtered output of the light signal traveling in the fiber. The device's response as a transversal filter is enhanced by weighting the taps either by use of a cylindrical lens, or by selectively masking a portion of light emitted by selected individual taps.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring the thickness of a film having top and bottom surfaces. The apparatus includes a first coupler for generating a first probe light signal and a second probe light signal from a low coherence light source. The first probe light signal is directed toward the top surface of the film and the light leaving the top surface of the film is collected. Similarly, the second probe light signal is directed toward the bottom surface of the film and the light leaving the bottom surface of the film is also collected. Top and bottom partially reflecting reference surfaces are provided for generating reflections. The top reference surface reflects part of the light leaving the top surface back toward the top surface, and the bottom reference surface reflects light leaving the bottom surface of the film back toward the bottom surface of the film. The collected light is combined to form a collected light signal which is input to a receiver that determines the time delay between light reflected from the top surface of the film and the top reference surface and between the bottom surface of the film and the bottom reference surface. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the receiver is constructed from an optical autocorrelator or an optical spectrum analyzer that includes circuitry for providing the Fourier transform of the frequency domain spectrum measured from the collected light signal.

    摘要: A fiber optic recirculating memory is disclosed which utilizes dual couplers to form a splice-free recirculating memory device from a length of single mode optical fiber forming a loop which acts as a delay line and a second length of single mode optical fiber which provides an input end and an output end for the device. A single signal supplied as an input to the device will result in a series of output signals identical to the input signal, although at smaller, decreasing amplitudes; the invention prevents the first output signal from being substantially larger than the rest of the output signals, thus eliminating the need for protective circuitry on the output end or the rejection of the first output signal. In addition to being useful as a recirculating memory device for use in a system where data is generated at a rate faster than it can be accepted by a data processor, the invention may be used as a tap filter to pass a selected fundamental frequency and its harmonics, and to attenuate all other frequencies.

    摘要: An optical time domain reflectometer that injects at least two complementary code sequences into an optical fiber and detects the return signal produced by each of these code sequences. These return signals are processed to extract the function h.sub.k that is equal to the response function for the fiber when a single pulse is injected into the fiber. This processing utilizes a correlation scheme that has no sidelobe distortion. Various combinations of Golay codes are suitable for use as the complementary codes.

    摘要: A parametric photodiode amplifier suitable for detecting light of frequency f and intensity P and having intersecting I:V curves for zero incident light and for incident light of intensity P. These photodiodes typically have an intrinsic density of carriers that is on the order of or less than the density of carriers produced by incident light of intensity P. When the photodiode is biased by an LO signal and is illuminated with modulated light of carrier frequency f, the photodiode output signal contains IF components at the difference between the frequencies of the modulation signal and the frequencies of on the order of the 23 lower harmonics of the LO signal.

    摘要: There is disclosed a high speed pulse train generator for generating a train of pulses having arbitrarily close spacing. The apparatus consists of a generator loop comprised of a fiber optic waveguide looped through a directional coupler with the output fiber serving as the input fiber for a similarly structured multiplexer loop. The lengths of the two loops are adjusted such that the time difference in the propagation times of light around the respective loops is small compared to the time of propagation around either loop. The times are adjusted to obtain any arbitrary spacing of the pulses in the output pulse train which is comprised of interleaved pulse trains resulting from each pulse input to the multiplexer loop. Also disclosed is a single loop embodiment for bidirectional data rate transformation and methods of using all the embodiments.

    摘要: A fiber optic tapped delay line is disclosed which has a number of taps simultaneously fabricated in a single length of optical fiber. The light output from each tap is detected by either an electronic photodetector or by an output segment of optical fiber having a lapped surface, the latter technique also being utilizable in the mass production of optical couplers. The device may be used as a transversal filter by summing the outputs from the taps, and the frequency passband may be custom-tailored by selectively weighting the outputs from individual taps.
