For designing intensity modulation type optical microphone, the irradiance distribution which can be applied to inclined-cut geometrical configuration is suggested. The model is important in analysis of response characteristics for intensity modulation type optical microphone. To overcome low sensitivity problem in intensity modulation type optical microphone, inclined-cut optical fiber is considered here. Based on optical geometry, the inclined-cut optical fiber sensor is designed and fabricated. The experiments are carried out to evaluate sensor performance.

The sensitivity vector which depends on geometry of object illumination angles and distances of ESPI was analyzed. And the sensitivities of in-plane and out-of-plane displacements have been investigated. From these results, we have the conclusion that it is useful to use the diverging beam for object illumination. With diverging object illumination, only little errors are occurred when we approximate the sensitivity vector to constant all over the object surface.urface.

The outstanding mechanical property of optical fiber and the merits of acoustic emission sensing technique are unified for novel sensor system. The generated ultrasonic wave from piezoelectric generator are propagated along the optical fiber and also sensed. The propagated wave can be influence by external pressure on the optical fiber or environmental circumstance. The optical fiber sensor using ultrasonic wave has advantages compare with existing sensor system. In this study, the sensitivity of the optical fiber sensor is experimentally investigated. As the applications of the optical fiber sensor system using piezoelectric ultrasonic waves, the point load on the optical fiber is measured and the monitoring system for the void fraction of two phase flows is developed. The experimental results show the linear relationship between sensed voltage and void fraction.

Optical-layer restoration has been demonstrated with a wavelength-blocker (WB) -based reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM). Two $2{\times}2$ optical switches with a control circuit were placed before and after a WB-based ROADM to provide automatic path restoration under fiber-failure conditions. Using the proposed node configuration, a 3-node self-healing ring (SHR) network has been implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of the automatic optical-layer restoration. From the results, the restoration time was measured to be ~4 ms under fiber-failure conditions, without any additional power penalty in receiver sensitivity.

We theoretically investigated dispersion tolerance of an optical duobinary transmitter employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical filter. Compared to the optical transmitter based on a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical delay interferometer by optimizing the applied voltage for improving the dispersion tolerance, the demonstrated duobinary transmitter provides improved receiver sensitivity and higher dispersion tolerance while maintaining narrow spectral bandwidth.

We propose a novel, tiny optical receiver engine utilizing an all-in-one package based on embedded optics technology. The package's best transmission S21 and reflection S22 opto-electric (OE) bandwidths are 49.8 GHz and 34.9 GHz, respectively, and the reflectance of the optical engine is below -31.7 dB for all channels. The engine satisfies the MIL-STD-883G standard for reliability tests, such as mechanical and thermal shock, and vibration resistance. The sensitivity after 10 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission is below -8 dBm. The optical receiver engine is cost-competitive and applicable for 400G coarse wavelength division multiplexing 4 (CWDM4) 10 km optical transceivers.

Optical phantoms are essential in optical imaging and measurement instruments for performance evaluation, calibration, and quality control. They enable precise measurement of image resolution, accuracy, sensitivity, and contrast, which are crucial for both research and clinical diagnostics. This paper reviews the recent advancements and challenges in phantoms for optical coherence tomography, photoacoustic imaging, digital holographic microscopy, optical diffraction tomography, and oximetry tools. We explore the fundamental principles of each technology, the key factors in phantom development, and the evaluation criteria. Additionally, we discuss the application of phantoms used for enhancing optical-image quality. This investigation includes the development of realistic biological and clinical tissue-mimicking phantoms, emphasizing their role in improving the accuracy and reliability of optical imaging and measurement instruments in biomedical and clinical research.
