Detector for an optical-fiber acoustic sensor using dynamic holographic interferometry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that the acoustically induced phase modulation of coherent light propagating within a multimode optical fiber may be linearly detected by an interferometer employing an unmodulated replica of the fiber beam as the reference. It is proposed that a dynamic hologram provide such a reference. This technique allows a performance comparable with that of a monomode interferometric sensor to be obtained, but with considerably relaxed alignment tolerances.

Optical sensors of ultrasound are a promising alternative to piezoelectric techniques, as has been recently demonstrated in the field of optoacoustic imaging. In medical applications, one of the major limitations of optical sensing technology is its susceptibility to environmental conditions, e.g. changes in pressure and temperature, which may saturate the detection. Additionally, the clinical ...

Two-wave mixing (TWM) via a dynamic hologram recorded in a photorefractive crystal allows the implementation of adaptive interferometers. These interferometers can achieve high sensitivity of detection of phase shifts under unstable environmental conditions even when phase shifts are encrypted in speckled waves such as those reflected from rough surfaces or emerging from multimode optical fiber...
