- Description
- Background Information: Fiber-based optical systems offer substantial advantages over free-space counterparts for certain applications. For example, they are compact, do not require alignment, avoid expensive optics and optomechanical mounts, can traverse unusual geometries, and have a protected beam path unless intentionally exposed for sensing purposes. �However, a distinct disadvantage is encountered for coherent applications - random phase drift.� Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) have developed a method to lock and/or (strongly) modulate the phase of light in a fiber using a single, inexpensive yet high-performance component.� The system, applicable to any coherent fiber machination, has recently been employed for amplitude, phase, polarization, and time sensitive optical field determination in 3D with nanoscale resolution.� The technology is described further in the following proceeding: ""Phase-locked fiber interferometer with high frequency, low voltage fiber-stretcher and application to optical field reconstruction,"" Proc. SPIE 11276, Optical Components and Materials XVII, 1127609 (3 March 2020); https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2543789�������� Technology Highlights: Rapid phase modulation and locking with a single component, compatible with scanned and stepped variable techniques Low voltage, low power VCO design eliminates need for high voltage acousto-optic devices or translation stages Low insertion loss, all fiberoptic system Potential Applications: Optical coherence tomography Coherent scanning near-field optical microscopy Fiberoptic sensing Interferometry Opportunity Description: SNL is seeking partners to further develop and commercialize coherent fiber optical system. �Licensing (with the possibility of deferred fees) and technical support (paid by Licensee) are available. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc. for the U.S. Department of Energy�s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525. Keywords: Optical coherence tomography, coherent scanning microscope, fiber optics, interferometry
