Waveguide coupling

Fig. 9. The TE01i cylindrical resonant cavity. The manner in which the waveguide couples to the cavity is also shown. The symbols X and represent the Ei field or the current distribution (35).

Nonconventional fluorimeters and sensors that incorporate optical waveguide coupling possess less optical attenuation in the near-IR as compared with the UV/vis-ible because of the reduction in Rayleigh scattering. The temporal dispersion is also reduced in the near-IR for the same reason, e.g., 80 psec/nm/km at 900 nm as compared with 1 nsec/nm/km at 400 nm for a single-mode fiber.

Figure 6.3 The Mark II cavity spectrometer viewed through its Perspex cover. The spatial filter is visible in the centre of the case. The translation stage and piezoelectric actuator are seen in the foreground and operate via the bellows to move the near mirror. The coupling iris is in the centre of the far mirror. The waveguide couplings holding the mica vacuum windows can be seen either side of the case in the background. Sample inlet is on the left wall of the case not visible and outlet is on the right via the pressure sensor...

GI lens and a half-mirror is shown in Fig. 11. There is one component made of coupled fibers in which two fibers are placed so that the light in the two fibers can be coupled with each other (i.e., light propagating in one waveguide couples into the other while propagating along the guide).
