White-light Sagnac interferometer for snapshot multispectral imaging.
The theoretical and experimental demonstration of a multispectral Sagnac interferometer (MSI) is presented. The MSI was created by including two multiple-order blazed diffraction gratings in both arms of a standard polarization Sagnac interferometer (PSI). By introducing these high-order diffractive structures, unique spectral passbands can be amplitude modulated onto coincident carrier frequen...
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 کاملSagnac interferometer for gravitational-wave detection.
We have investigated a zero-area Sagnac interferometer as a broad band gravitational-wave detector. Frequency response measurements of a laboratory-scale interferometer are in excellent agreement with theory. The measured contrast ratio, 0.996, is insensitive to induced birefringence, laser-frequency variation, arm imbalance, and dc mirror displacement. A near shot-noise-limited phase sensitivi...
متن کاملWhite light extended source shearing interferometer.
A grating lateral shear interferometer is described that can be used with a white light source. The use of the interferometer with certain types of extended sources is also demonstrated.
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...
