Fiber-optic spanner

Optics Letters, 2012
Methods of controllable, noncontact rotation of optically trapped microscopic objects have garnered significant attention for tomographic imaging and microfluidic actuation. Here, we report development of a fiber-optic spanner and demonstrate controlled rotation of smooth muscle cells. The rotation is realized by introducing a transverse offset between

Infrared optical fibers

IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 1982
A state of the art review of nonsilica based infrared fibers is presented. Two types of fiber materials have been investigated--crystals and glasses. Crystal fiber work appears to be focused on development of short haul CO/sub 2/ laser power delivering lines at 10.6 µm.

Fiber Optic Polychromator

Applied Optics, 1968
A polychromator has been designed and built to obtain time dependent profiles of spectral lines produced in a pulsed plasma. Light intensity is measured simultaneously at ten wavelengths, spaced 1 A apart, by means of a specially constructed fiber optic device.

Fractal fiber optics

Applied Optics, 1991
Analysis of the geometry of recursive tilings has led to the development of a new class of highly ordered optical composites that exhibit fractal surface character. These objects are, we believe, the first engineered fractal objects. The mathematics of tiling and examples of fractal fiber array devices are reviewed.

Fiber-Optic Measurements

Optics News, 1987
Fiber-optic technology has its own distinct set of measurements, based largely on a mixture of optical and electronic techniques. This chapter covers the important optical aspects of fiber-optic measurements, assuming you know something about electronics.

Nonlinear optical fiber resonator: Optical fiber bistability

Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences, 1996
The linear and nonlinear charecteristics of verious optical fiber loop resonators have been processed uniformly using transmission matrix method. It is pointed that in nonlinear operation condition each of those optical fiber loop resonators may be used to make an all-optical fiber bistability device. The configuration, charecterictics and threshold of

Fiber Fourier optics

Optics Letters, 2001
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 ...

Fiber optics without fiber

IEEE Spectrum, 2001
Low-power infrared beams, which do not harm the eyes, are the means by which free-space optics (FSO) technology transmits data through the air between transceivers, or link heads, mounted on roof-tops or behind windows. It works over distances of several hundred meters to a few kilometers, depending upon atmospheric conditions. The authors believe that

Optical Fibers for Fiber Optic Gyroscopes

2019
With the possible exception of nonsilica glasses, each time a new fiber technology has emerged, someone has applied it to FOGs and reported beneficial results. The development of the FOG has essentially tracked that of commercial optical fibers for more than 40 years, running parallel since 1976, when Vali and Shorthill first demonstrated the concepts ...

Optical fibers for communication

IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 1973
The transparency of glass fibers in the visible and near infrared-improved beyond all expectations by recent breakthroughs-seems now sufficient to transmit optical signals unprocessed over miles. No wonder that efforts have intensified all over the world to utilize fibers in future communication systems.
