In this paper a novel low power online chromatic dispersion (CD) monitoring method is presented, which employs spectral shift in the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The advantage of this method lies in that the required input power can be much redu
The piezoelectric film electro-deposition for optical fiber sensor with ZnO coating is studied. The zinc oxide plating film is made on the copper surface directly by cathodic electro-deposition in the Zn(NO3)2 single salt aqueous solution systems. The inf
Limited by the precision of optical machining and assembling, the optical axes of lasers in an array cannot be strictly parallel to each other, which will result in the beam quality degradation of the combined beam. The tolerance on tilt error for coheren
