Optical fibre cavity for ring-down experiments with low coupling losses

Abstract: A fibre-cavity design based on highly reflective gold coatings, vapour deposited to the two end faces of a large core multimode waveguide, is presented. In contrast to common fibre-cavity approaches, the laser pulses are not coupled through the reflective coatings into the cavity but through a micro hole in one of the fibre end faces, which reduces the commonly very high coupling loss to less than 1%. Accordingly, lower demands on the source power and the sensitivity of the receiver circuit result in lower cos… Show more

“…The LPG placed inside the fiber loop cavity was written by UV in SMF28e with a period of 335 nm and a length of 25 mm. A commercial OTDR (Yokogawa AQ7270) is used to send impulses down into the fiber cavity, instead of the usual laser and modulator setup [17]. The train of pulses is coupled via 1% arm of the input optical coupler, rings around inside the fiber loop and is coupled out via 1 % arm of the output coupler; the amplitude of the output pulses decay temporally due to the total existing losses in the fiber loop (fiber loss, fiber couplers insertion losses, LPG transmission attenuation), passes through a photodetector (gain of 50 dB) and is monitored in an oscilloscope.…”

“…The output signal is read (1) through the oscilloscope or (2) by the OTDR. In the first case, the output signal of the OTDR is used only as optical modulated source [17]. To perform strain measurements, the chirped FBG was fixed at two points that were 200 mm apart, and submitted to specific strain values by means of a translation stage (via sequential 20 m displacements).…”
