摘要： A method and apparatus, utilizing multiple light signals, for extending the dynamic range of an interferometric system such as an optical fiber gyroscope based on dual wavelength measurement of the Sagnac phase shift in order to determine the fringe number of the interferometric fiber system, thereby increasing the unambiguous range of the device. An analogue measure of the fringe number is provided, thus eliminating the need for digital fringe counting or tracking. An apparatus is described for measuring absolutely, within certain upper bounds determined by the exact wavelengths used, the rotation rate when the system is powered up in a rotating frame.

摘要： A large diameter optical waveguide, grating, and laser includes a waveguide having at least one core surrounded by a cladding, the core propagating light in substantially a few transverse spatial modes; and having an outer waveguide dimension of said waveguide being greater than about 0.3 mm. At least one Bragg grating may be impressed in the waveguide. The waveguide may be axially compressed which causes the length of the waveguide to decrease without buckling. The waveguide may be used for any application where a waveguide needs to be compression tuned. Also, the waveguide exhibits lower mode coupling from the core to the cladding and allows for higher optical power to be used when writing gratings without damaging the waveguide. The waveguide may resemble a short “block” or a longer “cane” type, depending on the application and dimensions used.

摘要： A pressure transducer has a cane waveguide geometry with “side-holes” in the cane waveguide cross-section that reduce the force required to compress the waveguide. The cane waveguide is a large diameter optical waveguide with a cross-section of at least about 0.3 millimeters, at least one inner core, a Bragg grating arranged therein, a cladding surrounding the inner core, and a structural configuration for providing a reduced bulk modulus of compressibility and maintaining the anti-buckling strength of the waveguide. The structural configuration reduces the cross-sectional area of the waveguide. These side holes reduce the amount of glass that needs to be compressed, but retains the large diameter. The waveguide responds to an optical signal, further responds to an external pressure that causes a differential strain across the inner core, for providing a Bragg grating optical-signal containing information about a birefringence of the Bragg grating that is proportional to the external pressure.

摘要： A fiber grating pressure sensor includes an optical sensing element which includes an optical fiber having a Bragg grating impressed therein which is encased within and fused to at least a portion of a glass capillary tube and/or a large diameter waveguide grating having a core and a wide cladding. Light is incident on the grating and light is reflected from the grating at a reflection wavelength &lgr;1. The sensing element may be used by itself as a sensor or located within a housing. When external pressure P increases, the grating is compressed and the reflection wavelength &lgr;1 changes. The shape of the sensing element may have other geometries, e.g., a “dogbone” shape, so as to enhance the sensitivity of shift in &lgr;1 due to applied external pressure and may be fused to an outer shell.

摘要： A compression-tuned fiber Bragg grating based reconfigurable wavelength add/drop module has a compression force assembly and an all-glass Bragg grating compression unit having gratings spaced along an axis of compression. The compression force assembly responds to a control electronics signal containing information about a selected wavelength of a channel to be added to or dropped from an optical traffic signal, for providing a compression force applied along the axis of compression. The compression unit responds to the optical traffic signal and the compression force, for providing an all-glass Bragg grating compression unit optical signal having the selected wavelength of the channel to be added to or dropped from the optical traffic signal. The compression unit optical signal may include either the traffic with an added reflected channel(s), or a dropped reflected channel(s). The compression unit is a “dogbone” structure having either a glass tube with an optical fiber fused therein, or a single large diameter waveguide having a core. The core of the optical fiber or waveguide has the gratings spaced therein. The axis of compression is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the dogbone structure.
