US Patent:

44552670, Jun 19, 1984

Filed:

Nov 12, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/440917

Inventors:

Virgil H. Strahan - Orange CA
Kenneth A. James - Corona del Mar CA
William H. Quick - La Habra Heights CA

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - El Segundo CA

International Classification:

G02B 514
G02B 5172

US Classification:

264 13

Abstract:

A method of fabrication and the resulting structure for a birefringent transmission line having particular application as an optical waveguide. The instant transmission line is fabricated so as to be adapted to maintain the state (e. g. the polarization vector) of polarized electromagnetic radiation propagating therethrough. Birefringence in the instant transmission line is geometrically generated by producing oblong regions having different indices of refraction through a cross-section of the transmission line. A preferred technique by which to generate birefringence includes the method step of bombarding the transmission line with a supply of atomic particules, such as energetic hydrogen ions, whereby to implant a damaged region of oblong cross-section and thereby cause an internal swelling therein. By way of a preferred example, the transmission line herein described may be a single-mode optical fiber.

44031440, Sep 6, 1983

Filed:

Jun 9, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/157694

Inventors:

Virgil H. Strahan - Orange CA
Kenneth A. James - Corona Del Mar CA
William H. Quick - La Habra Heights CA

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - El Segundo CA

International Classification:

G01D 534

US Classification:

250231R

Abstract:

1 An inexpensive, light weight fiber optic accelerometer to convert input mechanical motion (e. g. acceleration) into digitized optical output signals. The output of the accelerometer may be connected directly to data processing apparatus without the necessity of space consuming analog to digital interface means.
