We propose an improved optical coherence domain polarimetry (OCDP) calibration scheme by using polarization mode crosstalk (PMC). The scheme can be used to calibrate the OCDP system's measurement result about intensity of PMC. The intensity of 1st order PMCs are measured by polarization extinction ratio (PER) meter as the scale to transfer the standard into OCDP system, and the higher order PMCs formed...
We demonstrate operation of an interferometric optical gyroscope that uses an on-chip 3m ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguide coil. The measured minimum waveguide loss of the waveguide coil fabricated using lithographic die stitching was 0.78 dB/m. The angle random walk and bias instability of the gyroscope were characterized to be 8.52 deg/hr1/2 and 58.7 deg/hr respectively.
Graphene has been reported to show polarization-dependent optical absorption in the visible spectral range, that it shows more absorption for s-polarized light than p-polarized light. We study further on it and demonstrate that this unique property can be utilized to design a fiber optic sensor, which works in a similar way of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) fiber optic sensor. However, they are based...
A polarization-preserving optical system that includes a dual photoelastic modulator (PEM) has been designed and fabricated for the motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic system which measures internal magnetic field structures inside the tokamak for the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research. The collection optics located outside the vacuum window is composed of four lenses, a dielectric...
We measure the pitch variation of cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) according to the applied electric field using a wavelength-swept laser. While the electric field is applied to the CLC, the pitch of the CLC is elongated normal to the direction of electric field. Therefore, the reflection band is shifted to the longer wavelength. When the applied electric field to the CLC cell was over 1.52 V/μm,...
We demonstrate a novel distributed optical fiber sensor system based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR). Both the phase and the amplitude of the Rayleigh scattering (RS) light can be demodulated based on I/Q demodulation and heterodyne detection using commercial available 100G integrated coherent receiver (ICR). The polarization fading problem in Φ-OTDR can be avoided by...
A high-finesse silica waveguide ring resonator (WRR) is designed and a new record is demonstrated experimentally. The finesse and the resonant depth of the silica WRR with a length of 7.9 cm and a diameter of 2.5 cm are 196.7 and 98%, respectively. In addition, the silica WRR is pigtailed with single-polarization fiber to improve the polarization extinction ratio thus to reduce the polarization error...
An in-fiber Lyot interferometer for temperature measurement is presented. The sensor utilizes high temperature-dependence of the birefringence in Panda polarization maintaining fibers to achieve high resolution in temperature measurements. Temperature variation modulates the phase difference between the polarization modes propagating in different modes of the Panda fiber. The Lyot interferometer produces...
The article describes the construction and operation principle of the fibre optic pulse interferometer, which allows detection of mechanical disorders in fibre optic transmission line. Operation of this system is based on the optical pulses interference. Configuration of the system allows stable work of pulse interferometer over distances of several kilometres, with compensation impact of environmental...
