Optical fiber interferometer array for scanless Fourier-transform spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a spatial heterodyne Fourier-transform spectrometer implemented with an array of optical fiber interferometers. This configuration generates a wavelength-dependent stationary interferogram from which the input spectrum is retrieved in a single shot without scanning elements. Furthermore, fabrication and experimental deviations from the ideal behavior of the device are corrected by spectral inversion algorithms. The spectral resolution of our system can be readily scaled up by incorporating longer optical fiber delays, providing a pathway toward surpassing current spectroscopy resolution limits.

Fiber Fourier optics.
The Fourier transform of a coherent optical image can be evaluated physically by use of a single lens plus free-space propagation, thereby providing the basis for the field of Fourier optics. I point out that one can similarly evaluate the discrete Fourier transform of a sampled or pixelated optical array physically by passing the discrete array amplitudes through a network of single-mode fiber...
متن کاملComplete characterization of optical pulses using a chirped fiber Bragg grating
A simple method for complete characterization of periodic optical pulses based on time domain interferometry is demonstrated. The method does not require the use of an interferometer. A chirped fiber Bragg grating is used for stretching the pulses to be characterized. The interference between the stretched overlapped pulses is recorded by a photodiode and a sampling oscilloscope. The phase resp...
متن کاملA New Design for Laser Warning System
A new design of laser warning system is proposed. This novel system is composed of an optical antenna based on fiber bundle and a spatially modulated stationary Michelson interferometer as Fourier transform device. The interferometer has no moving parts, which can distinguish laser from background noise and from other non-coherent radiation such as flares, sunlight, and lighting. Based on Fouri...
متن کاملSlow-light fourier transform interferometer.
We describe a new type of Fourier transform (FT) interferometer in which the tunable optical delay between the two arms is realized by using a continuously variable slow-light medium instead of a moving arm as in a conventional setup. The spectral resolution of such a FT interferometer exceeds that of a conventional setup of comparable size by a factor equal to the maximum group index of the sl...
متن کاملA Dual-Polymer Fiber Fizeau Interferometer for Simultaneous Measurement of Relative Humidity and Temperature
This paper presents a novel design method in which a dual-polymer fiber Fizeau interferometer (DPFFI) is proposed for simultaneously measuring relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T). Since the polymer is intrinsically highly sensitive to both RH and T, the polymer fiber Fizeau interferometer (PFFI) exhibits cross-sensitivity of RH and T. In general, it is difficult to demodulate the optical...
