We propose a new synthesis method for the implementation of infinite impulse response filters, using a Sagnac interferometer within a ring resonator. This structure permits the synthesis of second-order optical functions ...

Spiral interferometry can be used as a solution to the problem of sign ambiguity presented in the conventional speckle pattern interferometric technique when the optical phase needs to be reconstructed from a single closed ...

A novel optical filter employing a fiber loop mirror within an amplified ring resonator is presented. The fiber loop mirror allows tuning by changing the coupling factor of a coupler. The device can be used as a building ...

Characterizing ultrashort laser pulses is a challenging task. By now several methods are established which can be divided into interferometric methods like SPIDER (spectral phase interferometry for direct electric field ...

Moire interferometry-a high sensitivity whole-field optical technique-was used to follow the evolution of the deformation process of an aluminium sample subjected to a uniaxial tensile test. This technique allowed us to ...

A silicon Mach-Zehnder interferometer is designed, fabricated and experimentally demonstrated for the C-band. Several interferometers were designed with different free spectral ranges. The influence of the waveguide width ...

We describe the implementation of the optical coherence interferometry (OCT) technique in the dynamic measurement of the deformation of polymers. The experimental set-up of the interferometer system and the signal processing ...

Laser interferometry is recognized as an extremely sensitive measurement technique, capable of detecting quantities that conventional sensors usually cannot. However, such advantage also brings a challenge, the interferometer ...
