Novel Liquid Crystal Tunable Flat-top Optical Interleaver
In this paper, we propose tunable optical interleaver filters based on the combined Michelson interferometer (MI) and the Gires-Tournois interferometer (GTI) with polarization diversity. The tuning capability is achieved by integrating liquid crystals into the interleaver. In addition to the tunability, it is also shown that the response for this proposed interleaver has a flat-top. Various GTI...
متن کاملSingle-photon Sagnac interferometer
We present the first experimental demonstration of the optical Sagnac effect at the single-photon level. Using a high quality guided-wave heralded singlephoton source at 1550 nm and a fibre optics setup, we obtain an interference pattern with net visibilities up to (99.2 ± 0.4%). On the basis of this high visibility and the compactness of the setup, the interest of such a system for fibre optic...
متن کاملLarge temperature sensitivity of Sagnac loop interferometer based on the birefringent holey fiber filled with metal indium.
The large temperature sensitivity of the Sagnac loop interferometer based on the birefringent holey fiber filled with metal indium was experimentally demonstrated. The temperature sensitivities of the wavelength shift of the interferometer and the birefringence the fiber with indium were measured to be -6.3 nm/K and -3.3x10(-6) /K, respectively. The large temperature sensitivity of the fiber wa...
متن کاملPhase-shifting birefringent scatterplate interferometer.
We realized what we believe is a new phase-shifting scatterplate interferometer by exploiting the polarization characteristics of a birefringent scatterplate. The common-path design of the interferometer reduces its sensitivity to environmental effects, and phase shifting allows quick and accurate quantitative measurements of the test surface. A major feature of the birefringent scatterplate ap...
متن کاملUltrafast gating using a nonlinear Sagnac interferometer
Ultrafast gating is a powerful technique for applications such as time resolved spectroscopy [ 1-3 ], imaging through scattering media [4-7 ], or nonlinear optics [ 8 ]. Several methods have been used, each of which has its own limitations. The Kerr shutter [ 3 ] is extremely fast (femtosecond) but requires high peak power lasers. It has a maximum transmission of approximately 10 percent, and i...
