Single-mode fiber length for wavefront filtering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Stellar nulling interferometry offers the possibility of direct imaging of extrasolar planets necessary for the detection of extra-terrestrial life. Achieving optimum performance from the interferometers requires that the wavefronts of light reaching the

A low-finesse Fabry–Pérot interferometer for use in displacement measurements with applications in absolute gravimetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A low-finesse Fabry–Pérot interferometer is used to determine long and fast displacements. Two corner cube reflectors form the traveling-wave cavity and one beam splitter couples the input collimated laser beam.

Photonic Crystal Fiber Strain Sensor Based on Modified Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2012
In this paper, a novel strain sensor is proposed and demonstrated by employing a modified photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based Mach–Zehnder interferometer, in which a collapsed region is introduced at the middle point of the PCF to improve the ...

A microstructured wavefront filter for the Darwin nulling interferometer [PDF]

open access: yes
The European Space Agency's space-based Darwin mission aims to directly detect extrasolar Earth-like planets using nulling interferometry. However, in order to accomplish this using current optical technology, the interferometer input beams must be ...

An analytical method to find the optimal parameters for gas detectors based on correlation spectroscopy using a Fabry-Perot interferometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Several designs of infrared absorption based gas detector use a Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) to modulate the incident light. In these systems, generally the FPI's fringes are matched with very well defined rotational absorption lines of a target ...

Error Analysis of an Economical On-Site Calibration System for Linear Optical Encoders

open access: yesMetrology
A calibration system was designed to evaluate the accuracy of linear optical encoders at the micron level in a fast and economical manner. The system uses a commercial interferometer and motor stage as the calibrator and moving platform.

Optimizing the Limit of Detection of Waveguide-Based Interferometric Biosensor Devices

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Waveguide-based photonic sensors provide a unique combination of high sensitivity, compact size and label-free, multiplexed operation. Interferometric configurations furthermore enable a simple, fixed-wavelength read-out making them particularly suitable
