Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are inherently sensitive to temperature, axial strain, and
pressure, which can be easily measured by a shift of the Bragg wavelength in their …

Polarization is an important addition to spectral imaging in detecting and identifying objects
of interest, and simple linear polarization measurements are often inadequate. Full …

We have measured wavelength dependent Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) in chirped
fiber Bragg gratings for dispersion compensation, grating filters for wavelength add/drop …

We report an all solid-state polarization-state generator that uses magneto-optic polarization
rotators. The device can generate either five or six distinctive polarization states uniformly …

Frequency responses of optoelectronic devices are essential to obtain the precise
performance of electrical-to-optical-to-electrical signal conversion or optical signal …

We report a novel system for the accurate measurement of all polarization related
parameters, including polarization mode dispersion and polarization dependent loss, using …

Waveguide taper, a key component in the photonic integrated circuit (PIC), enables on-chip
mode conversion, but large-footprint tapers are detrimental to the PIC, which desires …

We demonstrate a new method for measuring transverse stress with 10.2-mum spatial
resolution in a fiber Bragg grating sensor, without the use of polarization-maintaining fiber …

A generalized Mueller matrix method (GMMM) is proposed to measure the polarization
mode dispersion (PMD) in an optical fiber system with polarization-dependent loss or gain …
