A fiber optic synchronous detector using sample-and-hold circuits

Pfeifer, Kent B.

A design for a synchronous driver and detector for single-ended optical fiber sensing applications is presented. The circuit is discussed in detail. A derivation of the equations relating the input to the output for the sampler is given. A brief discussion of the operation of the prototype is given. Finally, the paper concludes with an example of an application of the device. 8 refs., 7 figs.
