    摘要: An elastic waveguide, for propagating acoustic waves, consists of an elongated solid core region and an elongated solid outer cladding region. The acoustic waves propagate in a mode where the principle particle displacement is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the waveguide, this mode is called longitudinal mode. The material densities and the bulk shear wave velocities of the core and cladding region are substantially the same but the bulk longitudinal wave velocity of the cladding region is larger than that of the core region.

    摘要: A narrowband optical fiber spectral filter comprises a fiber optic coupler formed from a W fiber and step index fiber. The W index fiber comprises a core having a high index of refraction. The core is surrounded by an inner cladding that has a very low index of refraction. An outer cladding surrounds the inner cladding and has an index of refraction that is greater than that of the inner cladding but less than that the core. The core of the step index fiber is surrounded by an outer cladding that preferably has the same index of refraction as the outer cladding of the first fiber. The two fibers are fused together to form a fiberoptic coupler that has an interaction region of predetermined length. The resulting fiberoptic coupler has different transmission characteristics for the two component fibers at which light can transfer between the fibers. The dispersion characteristics are the same for only a very narrow range of wavelengths. The resulting spectral filter thus has a narrower bandwidth than obtained by modifying other parameters of a fiberoptic spectral filter.

    摘要: A birefringent single-mode acoustic fiber for propagating linearly polarized shear acoustic waves while preserving linear polarization, comprises an elongated core region of a solid material in which acoustic waves can be propagated in two orthogonal shear mode components, and a cladding region enclosing all surfaces of the core region except end surfaces thereof, the cladding region being also of a solid material in which acoustic waves can be propagated in two orthogonal shear mode components. The core and cladding regions have different shear wave velocities with the shear wave velocity of the core region being lower than that of the cladding region, the core or cladding region being characterized by at least one birefringence causing factor selected from the group consisting of (a) noncircular geometry of the core region, (b) asymmetry of shear wave velocity distribution in the core region and (c) asymmetrical stress induced in the cladding region, whereby to strongly break degeneracy between the two orthogonal shear mode components and preserve linear polarization thereof throughout the fiber. The birefringent single-mode acoustic fiber according to the invention is particularly useful in acoustic fiber sensor systems for monitoring environmental changes in pressure, temperature, strain, stress, etc.
