    • PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the influence of amplitude modulation by modulating the phase of light wave, separated and propagated in an optical fiber strand, in reverse directions to a detecting loop, with specific frequency constant in phase difference. SOLUTION: Light from a light source 10 is propagated to a detecting loop 14 through an optical fiber strand 12 with fiber directional couplers 26, 34, a polarizer 32, a photo detector 30, a phase modulator 38, and the like in a path. Input light is separated into two waves propagated in reverse directions by the couplers 26, 34 and coupled again upon crossing the loop 14. The detector 30 receives an optical signal polarized in the same way as the loop input light by the polarizer 32 and outputs a signal proportional to the rotating speed of the loop 14. The modulator 38 is provided with a PZT cylinder so as to modulate the phase of a pair of light waves, passing through the loop 14, with specific modulation frequency to make phase difference 180 deg., in response to a modulation signal from a generator 40. With this constitution, only the reference frequency of an optical output signal is detected, and influence caused by amplitude modulation is eliminated.

    • STANF.8C2 PATENT BROADBAND OPTICAL FIBER LASER An optical fiber laser includes a single-mode optical fiber doped with a lasing material such as Neodymium. The optical fiber is pumped with a pump optical signal having a pump wavelength selected to cause spontaneous emission of an optical signal at a second wavelength different from the pump wavelength. The optical fiber is formed into a laser cavity such as by including a suitable reflector at each of the two ends of a suitable length of the optical fiber so that the emitted optical signal oscillates therein. One of the reflectors has a reflectivity at the wavelength of the emitted light so that most (e.g., approximately 95%) of the emitted light is reflected back into the laser cavity and a smaller portion (e.g., approximately 5%) is transmitted through the mirror as a laser output signal. Alternatively, the optical fiber can be formed into a ring laser structure using an optical coupler that couples a substantial portion (e.g., approximately 95%) of the emitted light back into the ring for recirculation therein and provides a smaller portion of the emitted light (e.g., approximately 5%) as a laser output signal. The wavelength of the pump optical signal is selected to be outside the pump variable tuning range of the Neodymium doped optical fiber (i.e., the range of pump wavelengths which stimulate emitted wavelengths having a average wavelengths with a generally one-to-one correspondence to the pump wavelength). Pumping with a pump signal outside the pump variable tuning ranges causes the emitted light to have a broad spectral envelope of longitudinal modes having emission wavelengths corresponding to substantially all the pump variable tuning range. Thus, by pumping the optical fiber with a single pump wavelength, a broadband laser output signal is generated.

    • A fiber optic rotation sensor using birefringent optical fiber (11) includes an uncorrelating element (200, 202), an equalizing element (204) and a polarizer (220) in the common input and output fiber portions (13) of the sensor to reduce or eliminate the intensity type phase errors caused by interference between lightwaves originally in the same polarization mode on entry to the sensor loop (16) that cross couple into another polarization mode. In the preferred embodiment, the uncorrelating element (200, 202) comprises a birefringence modulator (202) and a length (200) of birefringent fiber. The equalizing element (204) comprises a birefringent fiber (11, 13) having a splice (204) at which the axes of birefringence of the spliced portions (206, 208) of the fiber (11, 13) are positioned at 45 DEG relative to each other. The preferred embodiment also advantageously includes a birefringence modulator (60) that introduces a time-varying birefringence into the optical fiber (11) to introduce a deterministic phase error that reduces or eliminates amplitude type phase error caused by coherent interference between field components of light that are orthogonally polarized at the input of the sensor loop (16) and that couple to the same polarization mode within the loop (16).
