Principles and design of multibeam interference devices: a microelectromechanical-systems segment-deformable-mirror-based adaptive spectrum attenuator.

Fourier analysis of multibeam interference shows that the total electric field and relative time delay of the beams form a Fourier-transform pair. Fourier-analysis-based multibeam interference analysis and device design is discussed in detail. The principle of the proposed segment-deformable-mirror-based adaptive spectrum attenuator is illustrated.

Sapphire-fiber-based white-light interferometric sensor for high-temperature measurements.

We present a fiber-optic temperature sensor with a single-crystal sapphire fiber as the light guide and a sapphire wafer as the sensing element. Temperature is determined by measurement of the thermal dependence of the wafer's optical thickness by use of white-light interferometry. We applied digital signal processing techniques to analyze the sensor's spectrum. A prototype sensor was tested to 1600 degrees C and demonstrated excellent reproducibility. An accuracy of +/- 0.2% full scale was obtained. The sensor is simple, small, and flexible, with potential advantages of batch fabrication and easy calibration.

Self-compensating fiber optic flow sensor system and its field applications.

A self-compensating fiber optic flow sensor system based on the principle of broadband white-light interferometers and cantilever beam bending is described. The fiber optic sensor system uses two fiber ferrule sensors that are bonded on either side of a cantilever beam to measure the flow rate by monitoring the air-gap changes caused by the bending of the cantilever beam. Cross sensitivity of the temperature and pressure dependence of the sensor can be compensated for automatically. The prototype sensor system was constructed, laboratory characterized, and field tested. The results from the field testing have demonstrated high resolution, repeatability, and stability for on-line detection of the flow rates of fluids.
