  • Phase Modulation Principle of Fiber Optic Sensors

    Phase Modulation Principle of Fiber Optic Sensors

    Phase modulation occurs when an external physical parameter—such as strain, temperature, pressure, or acoustic waves —interacts with the optical fiber. This interaction alters the effective optical path length that the light travels. Optical phase-modulation technique is a very powerful tool used in a wide variety of high performance photonic systems. Fiber-optic sensors and gyroscopes, integrated-optics sensors, or high-performance photonic integrated circuits are some examples of photonic systems where the optical. The phase change is converted into an intensity change using interferometric schemes (Mach-Zehnder, Michelson, Fabry-Perot or Sagnac forms). What would be the output intensities and fringe visibility from both outputs? The Michelson interferometer.

  • Working principle of dual-axis fiber optic collimator

    Working principle of dual-axis fiber optic collimator

    The basic working principle is that the fiber's end face is placed at or near the focal point of a lens. Light exiting the fiber spreads out; if positioned correctly relative to the lens, the lens converts that diverging cone into a beam with minimal divergence (a collimated . Fiber optic collimators (also called fiber-optic collimators) are crucial optical components that convert the diverging output from an optical fiber into a collimated (parallel) beam, or conversely focus light from free space into a fiber. They can also be used in reverse to focus light into a fiber. In principle, a simple collimation lens (see Figure 1) is sufficient for that purpose. However, the fiber end has to be firmly fixed at a distance from the lens which is approximately equal. Thorlabs offers a variety of fiber collimation and coupling solutions.
