Switching in multicore fibers using flexural acoustic waves

GM Fernandes, NJ Muga, AM Rocha, AN Pinto - Optics Express, 2015 - opg.optica.org
We propose an in-line wavelength selective core switch for multicore fiber (MCF)
transmission systems, based on the acousto-optic effect. A theoretical model addressing the …

All-fiber narrowband polarization controller based on coherent acousto-optic mode coupling in single-mode fiber

PZ Dashti, Q Li, HP Lee - Optics letters, 2004 - opg.optica.org
An all-fiber, narrowband, tunable polarization controller is proposed and demonstrated. The
device is based on coherent acousto-optic mode coupling induced by two orthogonal …

All-fiber low-frequency shifter based on acousto–optic interaction and its heterodyne vibration response

Z Zhang, J Xu, L Zhang, L Teng, J Sun, X Zeng - Optics Letters, 2022 - opg.optica.org
We demonstrate two all-fiber low-frequency shift schemes based on the acousto–optic

driving voltage, is experimentally demonstrated for the active mode-locking of a fiber laser …

Speckle-based strain sensing in multimode fiber

MJ Murray, A Davis, C Kirkendall, B Redding - Optics express, 2019 - opg.optica.org
The diversity of spatial modes present within a multimode fiber has been exploited for a wide
variety of imaging and sensing applications. Here, we show that this diversity of modes can …
