RESEARCH ON TECHNIQUES FOR LIGHT MODULATION DETECTION.
Abstract
This report covers the seventh quarter of an applied research program conducted by the Sylvania Microwave Device Division to establish techiques for light modulation detection. New results are described in the following two areas: (1) In IER No. 6, two synthesis techniques (termed I and II) for realizing an arbitrary optical transfer function were described. Synthesis procedure no. I yields a filter containing n birefringent crystals, n bias units, and n + l polarizers, while synthesis procedure no. II gives a filter containing n birefringent crystals and two polarizers. IER No. 7 describes an important improvement in synthesis procedure no. I which allows us to maximize the filter output. (2) A proposed technique is presented for modifying the birefringent discrimnator so that it can accommodate light of an arbitrary polarization. (Author)
