摘要： A sweep sensor may include a signal source, a propagation medium, and a detector. By transmitting an interrogating signal from the signal source into the propagation medium, detectable disturbances along the medium can physically alter the characteristics of the medium, which may cause a measureable change in the backscattered signal at the detector. Based on the change, it may be possible to locate the geographic origins of the physical disturbances along the propagation medium, or to determine the nature of the disturbances, or both. For example, it is generally possible to estimate the approximate distance between the detector and the disturbance given the time required to obtain the backscattered signal and the velocity of the signal source in the propagation medium. Further, in some embodiments, it is possible to quantify the amount of disturbance.

摘要： Polarization effects are managed to provide differential timing information for localizing disturbances affecting two or more counter-propagating light signals on one or more optical waveguides passing through a detection zone. Activity can be localized to a point for a security perimeter. Events causing optical disturbance can be mapped to points along a straight line, a perimeter or arbitrary pattern or an array. Events cause local changes in optical properties in the optical waveguide, in particular an optical fiber. Short term local changes are distinguishable from phase changes of light travel in the waveguide by managing the polarization state of input and output beams.

摘要： The attenuation profile of an optical system, which defines the power variation as a function of wavelength is adjusted to alter the slope of its contour. The device is useful in a wavelength division modulation system to flatten the profile of an amplifier or the like that has a non uniform power variation with wavelength. The invention adjusts the slope by first providing an input light signal that has a known polarization state, e.g., processing the input into a known phase and amplitude relation between orthogonal components, such as plane polarized at a given alignment. The signal is then passed through a series of waveplates. The waveplates have different phase retardation and orientation resulting in wavelength dependent polarization change. According to an inventive aspect, by tuning the phase retardation of multiple tunable waveplates the desired wavelength dependent polarization changes over a useful wavelength range can be produced. At the downstream end of the signal path, a polarization discriminating element such as a polarizer or beam splitter, passes or blocks light energy as a function of polarization, thus converting the variation of polarization state into a variation of amplitude.

摘要： An optical polarization encoding been invented which allows wavelength dependent processing of polycromatic opticals without prior separation into narrow wavelength bands. The invention comprises a stack of variable and fixed birefringent elements which introduces, on passage though the stack, wavelength dependent polarization onto a polycromatic optical signal of arbitrary polarization. Desired polarizations are achieved simultaneously at all wavelengths contained within the incoming signal by independently varying the birefringence and/or crystallographic orientation of each element within the stack. The encoded signal may be subsequently be processed, e.g. rerouted or attenuated, as a function of wavelength using polarization dependent devices. The encoding stack is rendered polarization insensitive by dividing the incoming optical signal, with a polarization beam splitter, into two beams of orthogonal polarization prior to passage through the stack.

摘要： The location of a physical disturbance along an optical waveguide is determined by measuring different propagation times for the resulting phase variation to propagate to phase responsive receivers at ends of bidirectional signal paths. Each receiver can have a coupler that functions as a beam combiner and as a beam splitter inserting the opposite signal. On each receiving end, the coupler provides one or more detectors with signals from which phase related independent variable values are taken, processed and mapped to phase angles. Relative phase angle versus time is derived for each opposite signal pair and correlated at a time difference, i.e., a difference in propagation time from which the location of the disturbance is resolved. Polarization sensitive and polarization insensitive examples are discussed with various optical fiber arrangements.

摘要： A optical polarization encoding device (16) provides wavelength dependent processing of polychromatic optical signals without prior separation into narrow wavelength bands. Embodiments of the encoding device include a wavelength dependent tunable optical switch (400, 500) and a wavelength tunable optical level controller (600). An encoded signal is processed, (e.g., rerouted or attenuated), as a function of wavelength using polarization dependent devices (18). Desired states of polarization are imparted to optical signals to either direct selected wavelengths to selected output ports (optical switch), or to adjust the level of selected channels or wavelengths (level controller). Desired polarizations are achieved simultaneously at all wavelengths contained within the incoming signal by independently varying the birefringence and/or crystallographic orientation of each variable element within the stack.

摘要： A controller, particularly for setting a desired or randomized polarization state of an output light beam derived from an input, has more than the minimum number of controllable optical elements needed to determine the state of the output. The controller applies control input values to obtain a desired output state. The controller also selects among plural alternative sets of control values that could obtain the desired output state, so as to minimize other error conditions. The concurrent error conditions can be associated finite control range limits, for example to keep the input values near a middle of their ranges. Additional error conditions can include minimizing the incremental change in the values from one set to the next. The control is particularly useful to avoid problems associated with using finite range control elements such as liquid crystals for differential retardation or orthogonal light components, when controlling an endless or periodic parameter such as polarization. In the preferred arrangement, six retardation cells are used to control two independent variables determining polarization state.
