Electric Voltage Tuning of an All-fiber Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

The electric voltage tuning performance of an all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer which has unequal arm-length is studied in this paper. This interferometer consists of two 3 dB fiber directional couplers, with one arm is affixed to a piezoelectric translators (PZT). When the voltage applied on the PZT changes, the output interferometric pattern will shift accordingly. The transmission period of the interferometer is 2.24 nm. When the direct current electric voltage changes from 28.7 volt to -28.7 volt, the pattern will shift for nearly one of its own period. The tuning sensitivity is about 0.038 nm/volt, and the linearity is 0.9991. Also, the relationship between the physical path length difference of the two arms and the interval of adjacent interferometric peaks is discussed. This component has potential important applications in electric sensing measurement and optical fiber communication field.

基于Mach-Zehnder干涉仪的光纤气体传感器理论

提出了一种基于马赫-曾德尔(Mach-Zehnder)干涉仪的光纤气体传感器。由于Mach-Zehnder干涉仪具有抑制光源噪声和模式噪声的特点,在高精度测量中越来越受到重视。在干涉仪的传感臂上涂有对待测气体敏感的薄膜,由于气体与敏感层的作用,导致光纤纤芯折射率发生变化,两臂的相位差发生变化,并引起干涉仪输出光强的变化和干涉条纹的平移,平移量与气体浓度对应。根据杨氏双缝干涉的理论,利用MATLAB对该研究进行计算机仿真,绘制出单色光的杨氏干涉图样和光强分布曲线,及气室中通入一定浓度的待测气体使干涉图样产生平移。

An optical binary switch for aircraft applications is demonstrated. A fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI) bonded to a cantilever is used as the sensing element. A white-light interferometry system with two bulk Michelson interferometers sharing the same motor-driven translation stage is utilized to monitor the elongation of the FFPI.

Temperature independent torsion sensor using a high-birefringent Sagnac loop interferometer

A high-birefringent (Hi-Bi) Sagnac loop interferometer for torsion measurement is demonstrated. The sensing head is formed by a section of standard single mode fiber spliced between the output ports of a Hi-Bi coupler at 3 dB. The sensing configuration is characterized in torsion, temperature and strain. The results obtained indicate the viability of a torsion sensor independent of the temperature and strain cross-sensitivity effects. Additionally, in the proposed configuration all measurements are performed without the need of a polarization controller, a device most often required in standard Sagnac loops applied for sensing.

Mach–Zehnder interferometer with squeezed and EPR entangled optical fields

We study a scheme for Mach-Zehnder(MZ) interferometer as a quantum linear device by injecting two-mode squeezed input states into two ports of interferometer.Two-mode squeezed states can be changed into two types of inputs for MZ interferometer:two squeezed states and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR) entangled states.The interference patterns of the MZ interferometer vary periodically as the relative phase of the two arms of the interferometer is scanned,and are measured by the balanced homodyne detection system.Our experiments show that there are different interference patterns and periodicity of the output quantum states for two cases which depend on the relative phase of input optical fields.Since MZ interferometer can be used to realize some quantum operations,this work will have the important applications in quantum information and metrology.

Remote and high precision step height measurement with an optical fiber multiplexing interferometric system

An optical fiber multiplexing low coherence and high coherence interferometric system, which includes a Fizeau interferometer as the sensing element and a Michelson interferometer as the demodulating element, is designed for remote and high precision step height measurement. The Fizeau interferometer is placed in the remote field for sensing the measurand, while the Michelson interferometer which works in both modes of low coherence interferometry and high coherence interferometry is employed for demodulating the measurand. The range of the step height is determined by the low coherence interferometry and the value of it is measured precisely by the high coherence interferometry. High precision has been obtained by searching precisely the peak of the low coherence interferogram symmetrically from two sides of the low coherence interferogram and stabilizing the Michelson interferometer with a feedback loop. The maximum step height that could be measured is 6 mm while the measurement resolution is less than 1 nm. The standard deviation of 10 times measurement results of a step height of 1 mm configurated with two gauge blocks is 0.5 nm.     

Pulse stretching and spectroscopy of subnanosecond optical pulses using a Fabry-Perot interferometer

A Fabry-Perot interferometer has been used to produce optical pulses of variable width from a short gaussian input pulse. Pulse stretching of two to five or more times the original pulse width is possible provided a longer tail on the output pulse is acceptable. Calculations and measurements of pulse shape and interferometer finesse are presented, along with a discussion of short-pulse spectroscopy using a Fabry-Perot interferometer.     

Passively stabilized single-photon interferometer

A single-photon interferometer is a fundamental element in quantum information science. In most previously reported works, single-photon interferometers use an active feedback locking system to stabilize the relative phase between two arms of the interferometer. Here, we use a pair of beam displacers to construct a passively stable single-photon interferometer. The relative phase stabilization between the two arms is achieved by stabilizing the temperature of the beam displacers. A purely polarized single-photon-level pulse is directed into the interferometer input port. By analyzing and measuring the polarization states of the single-photon pulse at the output port, the achieved polarization fidelity of the interferometer is about 99.1 ±0.1%. Our passively stabilized single-photon interferometer provides a key element for generating high-fidelity entanglement between a photon and atomic memory.
