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： A continuously variable optical delay line having a first substrate (66, 70) and a second substrate (95). The first substrate is composed of a quartz block (70) with a large radius of curvature along its length, supporting a silicon substrate (66) having a plurality of longitudinal, parallel v-grooves (68). A single length (121) of single mode optical fiber is wrapped around the first substrate (66, 70) in helical fashion with each loop being secured in one of the v-grooves (68). The portions of the fiber (121) in the v-grooves (68) are lapped and polished to create a flat coupling surface extending laterally and longitudinally across the first substrate (66, 70). The second substrate (91) is composed of a quartz block with a single v-groove holding a segment of single mode fiber (95). The radius of curvature of this v-groove is substantially smaller than that of the first substrate, such that the flat coupling surface of the second substrate (91) is shorter than that of the first substrate (66). The first and second substrates are placed together such that the fiber in the second substrate is coupled to the fiber in the first substrate. By moving (142) the second substrate longitudinally with respect to the first substrate, a continuously variable delay can be obtained. The continuously variable delay line can be combined with a separate discretely variable delay line to create a longer continuous variable delay. The continuous variable delay line can be formed with only one v-groove (68) in the first substrate (66).

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： Method and apparatus for improving the sensitivity of Sagnac gyroscopes and other interferometers utilizing a fiber optic loop by minimizing the effects of backscattered radiation. In one disclosed embodiment, the amplitude of coincident backscattered radiation is significantly reduced by applying the light in the form of a pulse of short duration and gating the output so that only the scattered energy from a short length of the fiber contributes to the interfering wave. The interference is reduced even further by processing or constructing the loop to eliminate the scattering sources in the short segment which can give rise to coincident backscattered power.

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.

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： 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.
