An optical sensor includes at least one optical coupler and an optical waveguide in optical communication with the at least one optical coupler. The optical waveguide is configured to receive a first optical signal from the at least one optical coupler.
An acoustic sensor and a method of fabricating an acoustic sensor are provided. The acoustic sensor includes at least one photonic crystal structure and an optical fiber having an end optically coupled to the at least one photonic crystal structure.
This optical gyroscope uses a unidirectional coupled-resonator waveguide to enhance the Sagnac effect. Thus, this device offers greater sensitivity to rotation than conventional resonant or interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes.
A method and apparatus models one or more electromagnetic field modes of a waveguide. The method includes sampling a two-dimensional cross-section of the waveguide.
To determine the phase and magnitude of the complex electric field of
weak ultra-short pulses we propose to use a dummy strong pulse time
delayed relative to the weak pulse that needs to be characterized. This
