设计了一种对透明液体浓度进行高精度测量的动态跟踪系统。该系统根据液体的浓度与折射率关系以及折射率与光纤法布里珀罗(F-P)干涉仪干涉光波波长、级次之间关系,通过测量法布里珀罗干涉仪干涉级次的变化量,获得液体浓度的变化量。系统中光源选用He-Ne激光器,波长为632.8 nm,输出功率为2 mW,法布里珀罗干涉腔反射面的反射系数为0.9~0.95,平行度为(1/10~1/20)光波波长,平面度为(1/20~1/100)光波波长,接收干涉条纹的器件采用电荷耦合器件(CCD),对电荷耦合器件输出的信号进行二值化处理时采用阈值浮动措施,消除光强波动带来的测量误差。通过对一组不同浓度酒精进行测量,该系统可识别出0.01?的浓度变化。     

介质膜滤波器色散特性的研究

采用信号处理的方法,对介质膜滤波器的滤波特性进行了详细的研究。介质膜滤波器是最小相位滤波器,它的幅度响应与相位响应之间存在希尔伯特变换规律,因此可以通过它的幅度响应重构它的相位响应,进而可以得到它的色散特性。为了验证理论分析,设计了射频调制法测试介质膜滤波器群速度延时的实验装置。实验测试了一个100GHz33信道的介质膜滤波器的群速度延迟。通过对实验结果与理论计算结果的对比分析,发现实验数据与理论分析吻合得比较好。最后,对介质膜滤波器的色散的特点进行了分析。

A numerical model of multimode fiber PON frequency response

Frequency response of passive optical network (PON) based on multimode fibers is investigated. The network comprises fibers, connectors and splitters/couplers. It is shown that due to mode filtering at splitters, the frequency response is different for different network nodes in otherwise symmetrical network.     

Analysis of coir fiber acoustical characteristics

Coir fiber from coconut husk is an important agricultural waste in Malaysia. Acoustic absorption coefficient of the fiber as a porous material is studied in this paper. Two types of fiber are investigated, fresh from wet market and industrial prepared mixed with binder. Moreover two analytical models, namely; Delany–Bazley and Biot–Allard are used for analysis. Experimental measurements in impedance tube are conducted to validate the analytical outcomes. Results show that fresh coir fiber has an average absorption coefficient of 0.8 at f > 1360 Hz and 20 mm thickness. Increasing the thickness is improved the sound absorption in lower frequencies, having the same average at f > 578 Hz and 45 mm thickness. Delany–Bazley technique can be used for both types of fiber while Biot–Allard method is compensated for the industrial prepared fiber considering the binder additive. This form generally shows poor acoustical absorption in low frequencies. Inevitably, fiber has to be mixed with additives in commercial use to enhance its characteristics such as stiffness, unti-fungus and flammability. Hence other approaches such as adding air gap or perforated plate should be used to improve the acoustical properties of industrial treated coir fiber.     

Simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature with a long-period fiber grating inscribed Sagnac interferometer

A Sagnac interferometer with a long-period fiber grating (LPG) inscribed in the polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature. Due to the different responses of the LPG and the Sagnac interferometer to strain and temperature, simultaneous measurement can be achieved by monitoring the wavelength shifts and the intensity changes of a resonance dip of the sensor setup. The experimental results show that the achieved sensitivities to strain and temperature are 6.4 × 10^− 3 dB/με and 0.65 nm/°C, respectively.     

Modeling of a two-color, two-stage, ultrafast Yb-doped fiber amplifier

We have modeled a two-stage, Yb-doped fiber amplifier system to amplify two-color ultrafast laser pulses in near-infrared. The first and second stages namely preamplifier and power amplifier are single-clad, single-mode and double-clad, single-mode Yb-doped fibers respectively. From numerical simulations of the modeled fiber amplifiers, the optimal lengths of the two fibers to have equal power at two colors centered at 1035 nm and 1105 nm are in agreement with our experimental results. Numerical simulations have also been performed to demonstrate the impact of using a flat-top, two-color seed spectrum on the system performance.     

All-optical method of developing a phase encoded latch by using EDFA

Optics has already proved its meaningful application in information processing and computation, where the parallelism of light is exploited to achieve the desired result. In this communication a novel concept of all-optical memory unit based on phase encoding process is proposed. The unit is simple in architecture comprising phase sifters, mirrors (M′) and two blocks of Erbium doped fiber amplifier. The optical feedback is supported by use of beam splitters and mirrors. It is independent of intensity and therefore requires a small switching power and can work at a bit rate far above 100 Gb/s.
