International Classification:

G01B 1124

US Classification:

356601, 356445, 356448

Abstract:

An apparatus for characterizing multilayer samples is disclosed. An intensity modulated pump beam is focused onto the sample surface to periodically excite the sample. A probe beam is focused onto the sample surface within the periodically excited area. The power of the reflected probe beam is measured by a photodetector. The output of the photodetector is filtered and processed to derive the modulated optical reflectivity of the sample. Measurements are taken at a plurality of pump beam modulation frequencies. In addition, measurements are taken as the lateral separation between the pump and probe beam spots on the sample surface is varied. The measurements at multiple modulation frequencies and at different lateral beam spot spacings are used to help characterize complex multilayer samples. In the preferred embodiment, a spectrometer is also included to provide additional data for characterizing the sample.

Abstract:

A half-duplex facsimile modem system according to the present invention may exhibit a shorter startup time relative to conventional systems. The modem system exchanges capabilities information concurrently with the transmission of a conventional answer signal, thus obviating the need for performing a separate capabilities exchange procedure. In addition, the modem system is capable of determining a preferred training sequence duration based upon one or more characteristics of the current channel. The preferred training sequence duration is communicated from the answer modem to the calling modem such that the calling modem can format the training sequence in an appropriate manner. The resultant training sequence has a time duration that is variable in response to, e. g. , the signal-to-noise ratio of the instant channel. These techniques can result in a significant reduction in the startup latency typically associated with conventional half-duplex facsimile modem systems.

Abstract:

An optical multiplexing and demultiplexing device includes: a fiber mounting means for securing a plurality of optical fibers each terminating in a fiber end, at least one of the fiber ends radiating a corresponding input beam having a polarization state defined by a polarization plane that may vary as a function of time, and at least one of the fiber ends for receiving an output beam; collimating and focusing means having a focal length, and providing collimation of the input beams, and focusing of the output beams; diffraction means including at least one diffractive element providing for dispersion of optical beams passing therethrough, each diffractive element having an associated diffraction efficiency that varies as a function of the polarization state of light beams passing therethrough; and a polarization rotating means for rotating the plane of polarization of a beam passing therethrough by a specified number of degrees. The device provides for a particular input beam having a first polarization state to be diffracted by the diffractive elements in accordance with a first diffraction efficiency based on the first polarization state. The beam is then passed through the polarization rotating means at least once and thereby rotated into a second polarization state.
