Among all non-linear optical effects observed in single-mode optical fibres, stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is of particular importance since it has numerous practical implications. SBS occurs when laser waves are scattered through the interaction o ...
Interferometric measurements of electric field-induced displacements in piezoelectric thin films using single-beam and double-beam optical detection schemes are reported. It is shown that vibrational response measured with a single-beam interferometer incl ...
We report on new developments of a technique, called Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM), for the numerical reconstruction of digital holograms taken in microscopy, which allows simultaneous amplitude and quantitative phase contrast imaging. The reconstru ...
We report on a numerical method for the reconstruction of wavefronts in Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM). It yields simultaneous amplitude and quantitative phase contrast imaging by acquiring a single hologram. The reconstruction method computes the pr ...
An all-fiber interferometric method for chromatic dispersion measurements in meter-length single-mode fibers is presented. In a Michelson setup the physical length of a reference fiber was varied so as to obtain adjustable optical delay. Time resolution, e ...
We describe the rotational alignment sensitivity of three-dimensional holographic disks. It is shown that the reconstructed image always rotates by the angle by which the disk rotates; however, the center and the radius of rotation change as the recording ...
A novel method for polarization dispersion measurements using an interferometric loop is presented. It can be achieved using a particularly simple setup and provides a representation of the probability distribution of the polarization dispersion. ...
We present two interferometric techniques for the measurements of the polarization mode dispersion of standard (i.e. circular) single-mode fibers. The first method uses an interferometric loop and works in the frequency domain. The second uses a polarizati ...
Polarization dispersion is an effect which may cause data rate penalty in optical links. This is caused by the combined effect of fibre birefringence and polarization couplings due to environmental perturbations. Polarization dispersion is therefore a stoc ...
Single mode guided optics have recently taken a predominant place in communications systems. For instance single mode fibres enable long span, high data rate transmission links to be installed. In such fibers the data rate is ultimately limited by the chro ...
