Fiber Optics: How Fused Fiber Optic Couplers Work
Fiber Optics: How Fused Fiber Optic Couplers Work

... Up to this point we have tacitly assumed that a single transfer of energy has occurred from one fiber to the other. In reality, energy transfers back and forth between the two fibers many times over the coupling region (also called the Interaction Length). The transfer rate is a function of waveleng ...

Later analyses have attempted to overcome these limitations and fully characterize the statistics of heterodyne optical systems by assuming a highly simplified model of atmospheric effects [3,4]. An alternate approach, aimed at overcoming the limitations of previous work, is base ...

Types of polarization

... Natural or unpolarized light from an ordinary source such as a discharge lamp consists of the total output from a very large number of randomly oriented atomic emitters. Each excited atom radiates a linearly polarized wave train for ~ 10 -8 s and new wave trains are constantly emitted so that the ov ...

Harold Hopkins (physicist)

Harold Horace Hopkins FRS (1918–1994) was a renowned British physicist. His Wave Theory of Aberrations, (published by Oxford University Press 1950), is central to all modern optical design and provides the mathematical analysis which enables the use of computers to create the wealth of high quality lenses available today. In addition to his theoretical work, his many inventions are in daily use throughout the world. These include zoom lenses, coherent fibre-optics and more recently the rod-lens endoscopes which 'opened the door' to modern key-hole surgery. He was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious awards and was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize. His citation on receiving the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1984 stated: ""In recognition of his many contributions to the theory and design of optical instruments, especially of a wide variety of important new medical instruments which have made a major contribution to clinical diagnosis and surgery.""
