Standing waves in fiber-optic interferometers

Abstract: A study is presented giving the response of three types of fiber-optic interferometers by which a standing wave through an object is investigated. The three types are a Sagnac, Mach-Zehnder and MichelsonMorley interferometer. The response of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is similar to the Sagnac interferometer. However, the Sagnac interferometer is much harder to study because of the fact that one input port and output port coincide. Further, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer has the advantage that the output … Show more

“…4 and 6 represent model calculations with parameters shown in Table 1. The model calculations are based on a completed solution of the electromagnetic field created in the sensor by the interfering light waves and are described in detail in [9]. The model takes into account the full light path between sensor and mirror in case of MichelsonMorley geometry and between beam splitter and sensor in case of Sagnac geometry.…”

“…1 left). Recently [9] it has been shown that the absorption of light in such sensors can be different when the standing waves are created by first splitting the beam and then redirecting the splitted beams so that they travel in opposite directions through the sensor. This is denoted as Sagnac geometry (see Fig.…”

“…So that the coherence patterns would vary the refractive index of the fiber core, an absorption dynamic fiber grating was formed in the SA fiber to elect the longitudinal mode [14,18]. After that PC2 was emplaced nearby the active fiber to prevent the two counterpropagating waves in the linear cavity from forming standing waves [19]. This was to suppress the multilongitudinal-mode oscillations to some extent, which were caused by the SHB effect [20,21].…”

“…This detector could measure the intensity of a light beam in a standing wave. This detector could not be reproduced, so a program was carried out to construct a standing wave detector based on amorphous silicon layer on a glass substrate [19,20]. It was shown that a successful standing wave detector could be constructed.…”
