Abstract

See full text

A modulator adapted to be acoustically coupled to an optical fiber for applying acoustic waves across the fiber at a spatial and phase angle with respect to one another to compress and decompress the optical fiber at said spatial angle responsive to an electrical signal whereby to modulate the polarization state of an optical wave travelling past said modulator. An optical communication system in which light waves are transmitted from a transmitting end to a receiving end and whose polarization is modulated by an acoustic modulator responsive to an input signal and the output signal is demodulated to recover the signal.
