Abstract:
A heterodyne optical signal analyzer (HOSA) permits accurate reconstruction of an optical input signal (Es) in the time domain. In one embodiment, a vector representation of the light is used to account for two polarization states of the optical signal. The components of a heterodyne optical signal analyzer (), including optical couplers (), all have errors and offsets. For example, optical power detectors () are very sensitive to changes in polarization of the optical signal (Es) and of the reference signal (Er). Several HOSA calibration procedures including detector calibration, vector calibration, and reference signal calibration are described.

Abstract:
Example embodiments add an optical amplifier to an multi-channel, continuously swept OFDR measurement system, adjust amplified swept laser output power between rising and falling laser sweeps, and/or utilize portions of a laser sweep in which OFDR measurements are not typically performed to enhance the integrity of the OFDR measurement system, improve the performance and quality of OFDR measurements, and perform additional measurements and tests.

Abstract:
A hinged tool includes a first member; a second member pivotally connected to the first member at a pivot; and an optical fiber. The optical fiber is fixed to the first member at a load application region and fixed to at least one of the pivot and the second member at a location such that the optical fiber bends when the first member and the second member are pivoted with respect to one another. A method of using a hinged tool includes measuring fiber strain in an optical fiber fixed to the hinged tool, and determining at least one of tool strain applied to the hinged tool and a degree of pivoting of the hinged tool using the fiber strain.

I am a Christian. I am a Conservative. I am proud to be both. I'm loyal, funny, kind-hearted. A lot of good and bad has happened in my life, but I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything. They helped shape me into the man I am today and for that I am glad.
Dawn and Matthew Wolfe, who have been vacationing in Costa Rica for a month, said they and their three children were sitting in a restaurant near Punta Islita Airport when the plane took off. They said within minutes after takeoff the plane took a nose dive and crashed.
