METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING LIGHT FROM AN OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE |
摘要 |
<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/>Apparatus for extracting light from an optical waveguide (12) by bending the <br/>waveguide to such an extent that a portion of any light propagating in the <br/>waveguide leaks therefrom comprises a bending unit (10) for bending a portion <br/>of the waveguide in dependence upon a control signal (S) and providing a <br/>detection signal (Pa) proportional to light leaked from the waveguide. A <br/>control unit (14) varies the control signal (S) in response to the detection <br/>signal (Pa) to cause the bending unit (10) to progressively decrease the <br/>bending angle and has a processor unit (46) which computes a rate of change <br/>(dPa /dR) of the detection signal (Pa) with respect to bending radius (R) and <br/>causes the bending unit to maintain that bending radius at which the aforesaid <br/>rate of change is substantially equal to a predetermined value.<br/>
