摘要： A fiber optic rotation sensor, employing the Sagnac effect, comprises all fiber optic components, positioned along a continuous, uninterrupted strand of fiber optic material. The rotation sensor includes a detection system utilizing a modulator for phase modulating light waves which counterpropagate through a loop formed in the fiber optic strand. The modulator is operated at a specific frequency to eliminate amplitude modulation in the detected optical output signal. The rotation sensor is mounted in a .mu.-metal housing to shield it from the effects of ambient magnetic fields. An isolator is utilized to prevent the optical output signal from returning to the laser source. This advantageously reduces power losses in the system by eliminating the need for a coupler to couple the output signal to a detector.

摘要： A fiber optic directional coupler comprises a pair of bases, with respective longitudinal, arcuate grooves formed therein on confronting faces thereof, for mounting a pair of optical fibers in close proximity. A portion of the cladding is removed from each of the fibers to form planar facing surfaces which permits the spacing between the fiber cores to be within a predetermined critical zone so that guided modes of the fibers interact, through their evanescent fields, to cause light to be transferred by evanescent field coupling between the fibers. The coupler is "tuned" to a desired coupling efficiency by offsetting the planar facing surfaces to increase the spacing between the fiber cores. A method of manufacture of the coupler includes procedures which permit the coupler halves to be made symmetrical. The method also permits couplers having given coupling characteristics to be reproduced.

摘要： A fiber optic interferometer provides Kerr effect compensation by intensity modulating counterpropagating waves of unequal intensity such that the average value of the square of the intensity is equal to a constant times the average value of the intensity squared, the constant preferably being equal to about two. The intensity modulation may be achieved by using a modulator in combination with a light source or by using a source in which plural frequencies combine to provide the modulation.

摘要： A fiber optic amplifier as disclosed, comprised of a fiber optic, monomode waveguide which has a core and cladding. Part of the cladding over a predetermined region is removed and replaced by an active medium capable of absorbing light energy at a first wavelength and emitting light energy at a second wavelength. The active medium is a lasing dye which has an index of refraction adjusted to be slightly less than the index of refraction of the fiber core. The amount of cladding which is removed is adjusted such that a predetermined amount of penetration of the evanescent field from a pump light signal coupled into an end of the fiber penetrates the active medium. A probe signal to be amplified causes stimulated emission from the excited dye molecules by penetration of its evanescent field into the dye in the region where the cladding is removed.In the preferred embodiment a recirculating pump is used to circulate dye through a cavity which is placed over the portion of the fiber where the cladding is removed. The dye molecules in contact with the surface caused by removal of the cladding are continually changed. A temperature control unit maintains the temperature of the dye such that its index of refraction remains tuned to an amount just less than the index of refraction of the core.

摘要： A pair of optical couplers are arranged in series with a pair of outputs from the first optical coupler supplying the pair of inputs to the second optical coupler. At least one of the optical fibers between the first and second couplers is arranged to have a variable length, said variation being at least one-half the wavelength of the light signal utilized within the system. When light is supplied to one input of the first coupler, this light can be switched selectively to either of the outputs of the second coupler by varying the length of one of the optical fibers between the couplers. Thus, a light signal supplied to either of the inputs of the first coupler can be selectively output at either of the outputs of the second coupler or can be made to alternate between these outputs in accordance with the length of the intervening optical fiber.

摘要： In a closed loop fiber optic gyroscope, the counter-propagating lightwaves are phase modulated by a triangular wave modulation with the triangular wave skewed to lock the phase difference between the counter-propagating waves alternately to specific values of phase difference which are greater than and less than the phase difference due to rotation. The difference in elapsed time between the up-slope and down-slope portions of the triangular wave modulation yields a measure of rotation angle, whereas such difference in elapsed time divided by total elapsed time yields a measure of rotation rate. The phase difference is further modulated about the locked values at a higher frequency, such higher frequency phase difference modulation being synchronously detected to produce a rotation rate signal component employed to generate the skewed triangular wave. Various other features are employed to light polarization errors.

摘要： A method and system for transmitting source light to a plurality of Sagnac interferometers includes a first directional coupler that splits the source light into a second light beam and a third light beam. The second light beam supplies light to a first Sagnac interferometer and the second light beam supplies light to a second directional coupler, and the first directional coupler also delivers light returning from the first Sagnac interferometer to a first detector that is used to indicate rotation of the first Sagnac interferometer. The second directional coupler splits the third light beam into a fourth light beam and a fifth light beam, and the fourth light beam supplies light to a second Sagnac interferometer. The second directional coupler delivers light returning from the second Sagnac interferometer to a second detector, and the second detector provides a signal indicative of rotation of the second Sagnac interferometer.
