摘要： A polarizing optical fiber has a core formed of a plurality of layers of dielectrics having different refractive indices. The dielectric layers form a composite structure having different refractive indices for light of different polarizations. The differing refractive indices cause the polarization states of light guided by the fiber to be non-degenerate so that energy ordinarily will not couple from one polarization to the other. The fiber includes a cladding that may have a refractive index either less than both core indices to provide a polarization maintaining fiber or greater than or equal to one of the core indices to provide a polarizing fiber. The method of fabrication of the layered core form birefringent optical fiber includes forming a structure of a plurality of layers of the dielectrics, heating the structure to form a monolith, stretching the monolith to form the fiber core, and adding the cladding to the core.

摘要： The cladding and a portion of the core of a length of optical fiber are removed to form an interaction region. A form birefringent stack is positioned on the exposed core. The refractive index of the stack for polarizations parallel to the plane of the interaction region is approximately equal to the refractive index of the fiber core so that these polarizations radiate from the fiber. The refractive index of the stack for the polarization normal to the plane fo the interaction region is approximately equal to the refractive index of the cladding so that this polarization remains guided by the fiber. A photodetector forms an error signal from the polarization radiated from the fiber, and control circuitry processes the error signal to drive a polarization controller that adjusts the polarization of light input to the polarizer to minimize the error signal.

摘要： The cladding and a portion of the core of apparatus of a length of optical fiber are removed to form an interaction region where the fiber will not guide a light wave. A metal thin layer placed on the exposed core and a portion of the cladding. Polarizations perpendicular to the metal film couple into the metal film to form a surface plasma wave that propagates parallel to the fiber while parallel polarizations radiate through the metal film. The surface plasma wave couples energy back into the fiber so that the throughput of the polarizer is only the perpendicular polarization component. A photodetector forms an error signal from the polarization radiated from the fiber, and control circuitry processes the error signal to drive a polarization controller that adjusts the polarization of light input to the polarizer to minimize the error signal and maximize the intensity of the desired polarization output from the polarizer.

摘要： A rotation sensor for sensing rotation, particularly about an axis of a coiled optical fiber, wherein the coiled optical fiber has with light waves propagating in opposite directions in the coiled optical fiber, the phase relationship of the counter-propagating light waves providing a basis for indicating rotation of the sensor. A portion of the coiled optical fiber is a part of and affected by a bias optical phase modulator which causes a varying phase relationship between the light waves at a fundamental frequency. However, the varying phase relation ship has at least one harmonic which is due to mechanical vibration of the optical fiber that is a part of the modulator. This harmonic contributes to an erroneous indication of rotation. The amplitude of such harmonic is reduced by lowering the Q of the resonating fiber. This is effected by applying a damping material to the optical fiber and a portion of the modulator. A photodetector detects the counter-propagating waves and sends a corresponding electrical signal on to a signal component selection device that provides an indication of sensed rotation, including error due to the mechanically resonating optical fiber of the modulator.

摘要： An optical fiber has an absorbing jacket to absorb cladding modes in a very short distance along the optical fiber to prevent cladding modes from having a significant affect upon signal quality. The absorbing jacket cooperates with a form birefringent polarizing fiber, which radiates light of one polarization out of the core into the cladding, to provide light of a single polarization suitable for use in fiber optic sensing systems and communications systems whose operational characteristics are polarization dependent.

摘要： Aligned birefringent fiber segments are reliably and efficiently rotated approximately 45.degree. relative to each other until the extinction ratio measurement at the output is approximately 0 dB, then birefringent fibers are fused. To determine the extinction ratio, a Wollaston analyzer is placed at the output of the birefringent fiber. Photodetectors placed on each output of the Wollaston analyzer, substantially simultaneously measure the output intensity of each propagation axis.
