MODE-LOCKED FIBER LASER GYROSCOPE
No full textWe describe a new form of an all-fiber-optic gyroscope that utilizes a fiber laser. The Sagnac interferometer is used as a loop reflector with a modulated reflectivity to produce actively mode-locked optical pulses. The rotation-induced phase shift is obtained from the timing shift of the pulses. Experimental results compare well with the theoretical predictions.This research was supported by the Agency for
Defense Development under contract number 90-1-1
All-fibre-optic clock recovery from non-return-to-zero format data
No full textThe author; demonstrate an all-optical clock recovery scheme from non-return-to-zero format data, with an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a mode-locked Er-doped fibre laser. Since this scheme consists of an all-fibre device, the clock recovery bandwidth can extend to the terahertz region. Such all-optical clock recovery techniques will find application in ultra-high speed all-optical communication systems
All-optical clock recovery from NRZ data of 10 Gb s
No full textWe demonstrate successfully an all optical clock recovery scheme based on all-fiber devices from nonreturn-to-zero format data of 10 Gb/s with a stabilized asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser. This all-optical clock recovery method will find application in ultrahigh-speed all-optical communication systems
