Laboratory of fiber optics
A wide range of practical applications of optical fibers (optical channels for communication systems, medicine, fiber sensors of physical fields, etc.) and the convenience of experimental research of linear and nonlinear processes in optical fibers determined the need to create a laboratory.
Well-known developments of the laboratory on the inversion of the wave front of the radiation that propagates in the fiber. This is necessary for the transmission of a 2D image over a single optical fiber in a parallel format.
The study of the fiber sensor of angular velocities and angles of rotation made it possible to use it for navigational purposes in aeronautics and cosmonautics. Fiber temperature sensors implemented in the laboratory provide almost instantaneous temperature measurement.
The regularities of a number of nonlinear effects that cause the amplification of electromagnetic radiation during its propagation in the fiber have been established.
The composition of the laboratory:
- Professor, Ph.D.-M.Sc. V. I. Hryhoruk is the scientific director of the laboratory
- Assistant, Ph.D.-M.Sc. Yu. A. Slinchenko
- Prov. Eng. Fatkova N. O.
- Students performing bachelor’s and master’s qualification works
The list of current tasks that are being worked on in the laboratory:
- Compensation of interference and diffraction effects to restore a 2D image when transmitting it through a fiber optic cable in a parallel format.
- Nonlinear transformations of optical radiation during propagation in optical fibers (forced Raman scattering, forced Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering).
- Research of sensors of physical fields.
- Linear and nonlinear transformation of electromagnetic waves in optical fibers.
- Express methods of measuring the characteristics of optical fibers.
- Development of fibers with specified parameters for creating optical sensors.
