Abstract: Disclosed is a method for a phase-insensitive single-sampling point (SSP) data collection system. A rotated 90° infrared (IR) THz signal from a step-tunable IR laser is passed though the fast axis of a 90° polarizing rotator. The polarizing rotator and a second IR signal are coupled to free space through an electro-optic phase modulator (EO-PM), where the EO-PM only retards the phase of along the slow-axis. The polarization angle is rotated by 45° to form a beat frequency in each arm. The light is passed through a polarizer aligned with the slow axis of the PM fiber. Lastly, a resultant IR beat signal is fiber coupled back into the system and an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in each arm amplifies the IR power prior to pump the THz emitter and detector.

Abstract: A method and a system for measuring an optical asynchronous sample signal. The system for measuring an optical asynchronous sampling signal comprises a pulsed optical source capable of emitting two optical pulse sequences with different repetition frequencies, a signal optical path, a reference optical path, and a detection device. Since the optical asynchronous sampling signal can be measured by merely using one pulsed optical source, the complexity and cost of the system are reduced. A multi-frequency optical comb system using the pulsed optical source and a method for implementing the multi-frequency optical comb are further disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods which utilize a cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) technique implemented for the measurements of vapor transmission rate. In one embodiment, the vapor content to be measured is contained within an optical cavity. Light is then injected into the cavity up to a threshold level and the delay time of the injected light is measured. When the wavelength of the injected light is resonant with an absorption feature of the vapor the decay time increases linearly as a function of vapor content. In this manner, vapor content causes a longer delay time and thus the amount of vapor passing through the film (film permeation rate) can be determined in real-time.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for obtaining Raman spectra that are suitable for continuous real-time monitoring, utilizing the basic technique of Raman spectroscopy in cooperation with wavelength-selective optical amplification are described. The invention improves the detection sensitivity of conventional Raman spectroscopy by orders of magnitude by providing strong wavelength-selective optical amplification and narrowband detection of the intense driving laser and the weak Raman signal(s), thereby essentially eliminating the driving laser signal from the detector and detection electronics. The invention is effective for both Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman lines, and either where the incident laser wavelength is fixed and the Raman spectrum is recorded by analyzing the output of the fiber amplifier with a spectrometer, or where the detection wavelength is fixed and the Raman spectrum is recorded by tuning the wavelength of the laser.
