An Isotropic Electric-Field Sensing System Using Optical Probe

We design an isotropic electric-field sensing system using an optical probe. The optical probe consists of three electric-field sensors based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the structure of segmented electrodes, which are perpendicular to each other. The measured results show that the ±5 dB baseband can reach 3 GHz, the linear dynamics range is 70dB, and the minimum detectable electric field is lower than 90 dBμ V/m （the spectrum analyser resolution is 100 Hz）. The directional characteristics are almost isotropic within deviations of ±1.5 dB. Therefore this sensing system can be used in the electromagnetic compatibility measurements.     

Optical Design of a Space Retroreflector Using a Hybrid Search

Retroreflectors on satellites are used as targets for laser ranging and laser long-path absorption measurements of atmospheric trace species. To compensate for the velocity aberration, slight tuning of the design is necessary. The curvatures of mirrors, the angles between mirrors, and the direction of the retroreflector on the satellite must be tuned to optimize the optical efficiency of the retroreflector. An enumerative scheme is not applicable when the number of parameters is large. We proposed earlier a technique using a genetic algorithm for the optical design of a space retroreflector.¹⁾ In this paper, we have improved the method introducing a hybrid technique that is a combination of a genetic algorithm and simulated annealing.

Design of a Hybrid Fiber-Optic Network Using 3-D Optical Code Sequences

We present the design of a 3-dimensional (3-D) noncoherent optical hybrid network. We also report the design of a new family of 3-D codes for fiber optic hybrid networks. We show that the hybrid network allows for shorter bit times and a higher number of users, given a set chip rate, compared to previously conceived networks. These newly designed hybrid single-pulse-per-row (HSPR) codes have very low autocorrelation side-lobes and very small cross-correlation peaks. We compare the performance of our hybrid model using our codes with the Optical Orthogonal Codes (OOCs) and Temporal/Spatial (T/S) codes and show that the new network can support a greater number of users and higher data rates than those using OOCs and T/S codes.     

Optical Filters Using Optical Multi-Layer Structures for Optical Communication Systems

Abstract

In this article, light reflection spectrums for different one-dimensional multi-layer structures are obtained. Optical reflectivities for periodic, superperiodic, and quasiperiodic structures have been calculated using the transfer matrix method. PBGs of each structure have been obtained using the optical reflectivity pattern. From a comparison of reflectivity and standard dense wavelength division multiplexing grids, it is demonstrated that narrow and dense band filters can be built from generalized Fibonacci quasiperiodic structures. Reflectivity of these structures contains bands that meet the ITU-T dense wavelength division multiplexing standard. Reflectivity of other multi-layer structures has poor or less potential to be used in dense wavelength division multiplexing systems.

The Detection of Defects in Optical Fibers Using a Hybrid Opto-electronic Correlator

A hybrid opto-electronic correlator for detecting defects in optical fibers is proposed. After the light from a He-Ne laser being expanded and filtered it is not collimated but directly passes a Fourier transform lens and illuminates a reference fiber and a test fiber at the same input plane. The Fourier transform spectrum of the two fibers is therefore obtained at the rear focal plane of the lens, where it is sampled via a CCD array connected with a computer through a frame grabber. The computer performs filter, inverse Fourier transform and setting threshold operation on classification. The system is an equivalent of joint transform correlator with a Fourier lens of long focal length. The experiment results for optical fibers having incoordinate defects are presented. The results indicate that the system can be used for fiber defect detection, and has the advantages of high identification, compact configuration, easy adjustment and flexible manipulation.

A Strip-Loading Optical Waveguide Using Well Poled Stability Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials

An optical waveguide for a polymer modulator based on organic/inorganic hybrid electro-optic （EO） materials is designed and fabricated by utilizing a strip-loading structure. This hybrid material has a controllable refractive index, high EO coefficient and good poled stability, which are suitable for the EO modulators and switches. The embedded waveguide made of the above EO material can reduce the coupling loss. The light is coupled into the guided-core layer and then undergoes a transition from the buried waveguide into the EO material. Obvious modulation is observed by application of ac voltage to the EO material. The measured Vπ of co-planar waveguide （CPW） is 5 V for the Mach-Zehnder （MZ） modulator in length of 3.5cm.     

Multitarget Detection Using a Hybrid Optical Joint Transform Correlator with Power Spectrum Subtraction

Multitarget detection using a hybrid optical joint transform correlator with power spectrum subtraction is proposed. This architecture is a programmable single spatial light modulator joint transform correlator. It consists of a liquid crystal display panel, an imaging lens, and a liquid crystal light valve to enhance resolution and space-bandwidth production. In this technique, it has two joint images in the input plane. In the second joint image, the reference image is contrast-reversal. With this technique, the second joint power spectrum is subtracted from the first joint power spectrum and the subtracted joint power spectrum is then taken the inverse Fourier transform. This technique is found to yield better correlation output performance than that of the classical joint transform correlator. Computer simulation results and the optical experimental results for input scene of the multitarget are given.The results have verified the correctness of the system design and performance analysis.
