Abstract: An integrated optical pressure transducer having a diaphragm fabricated from a low-loss glass is positioned at the location where pressure changes are to be measured. An optical waveguide loop formed on one surface of the diaphragm acts as a ring cavity in which the difference between the resonating frequencies varies with pressure but not with temperature. Light energy is coupled into the waveguide loop from an optical source through a tangentially located input waveguide. An output waveguide, also tangentially located, couples light energy from the waveguide loop to a broadband detector so that the changes in frequency spectrum of the resonating frequencies within the waveguide loop can be monitored.

Abstract: Fiber Optic Strain Sensor An optical fiber having at least two cores positioned in a common cladding can be fabricated to be responsive to strain or hydrostatic pressure but not to temperature through the selection of materials, spacing and shape of the cores and cladding in the fiber. Accordingly, the cross-talk between adjacent cores in the optical waveguide can be optimized to respond to a change in hydrostatic pressure or in unidirectional strain along the length of the fiber. The strain or pressure change, can be determined by measuring the relative intensity of light emerging from the different cores of the fiber. A larger unambiguous range for strain or hydrostatic pressure changes can be provided by a multi-core optical fiber embodiment.

Abstract: A variable light filtering arrangement (10) includes at least one optical fiber section (11) including a waveguiding core (13), and at least one permanent Bragg grating region (12) in the optical fiber section. The grating region includes a plurality of grating elements constituted by periodic refractive index variations of a predetermined initial periodicity and cumulatively redirecting, of the light launched into the core for guided propagation therein, that having an axial wavelength within a narrow band around a central wavelength that is determined by the periodicity and refractive index variations of the grating elements. At least one of the periodicity and refractive index variations of the grating region is controlledly modified in such a manner as to temporarily change the central wavelength within a predetermined wavelength range.

Abstract: A polarized fiber laser source includes a fiber laser (10) comprising a pair of Bragg gratings (14, 16) at opposite ends of a fiber laser cavity (18) which is doped with a rare-earth dopant so as to allow lasing to occur at a lasing wavelength .lambda.L. A grating tap (26) is provided along a portion of the laser cavity (18) to couple-out a predetermined amount of light along one polarization, e.g., the "s" polarization, at the lasing wavelength .lambda.L. This causes one polarization mode to experience more loss than the other, thereby allowing the fiber laser to lase only on the less lossy polarization mode and causing the laser output light (40) to be polarized only along such polarization.
