We propose an integrated fiber Michelson interferometer based on a poled hollow twin-core fiber. The Michelson interferometer can be used as an electro-optic modulator by thermal poling one core of the twin-core fiber and introducing second-order nonlinearity in the fiber. The proposed fiber Michelson interferometer is experimentally demonstrated under driving voltages at the frequency range of 149 to 1000 Hz. The half-wave voltage of the poled fiber is 135 V, and the effective second-order nonlinear coefficient χ² is 1.23 pm/V.

In this Letter, we present a fiber-optic radio frequency (RF) transmission scheme based on phase modulation with an interferometric detection structure. A self-developed Michelson interferometer (MI) is used to demodulate the frequency signal via an electrically controlled optical shifter. The two complementary outputs from the interferometer are detected using a balanced detector, which suppresses the common-mode noise of the fiber link.

Nevertheless, the ranging distance or the material of the targets is limited by the detection sensitivity of optical asynchronous linear sampling. This limitation restricts the application of DCR in several highly significant scenarios.

Significance: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images are prone to image artifacts due to the birefringence of the sample or the optical system when a polarized light source is used for imaging. These artifacts can lead to degraded image quality and diagnostic information.
Aim: We aim to mitigate these birefringence-related artifacts in OCT images by adding a depolarizer module in the reference arm of the interferometer.
The phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry scheme has attracted great research interest in distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) but suffers from a trade-off between the dynamic range and signal frequency. In this paper, an optical path difference (OPD) demodulation method is applied to an interferometer array composed of an ultra-weak fiber Bragg grating (UWFBG) array and an imbalanced Michelson interferometer to solve this problem. As far as we know, this is the first time that OPD demodulation has been applied to DAS.

Objectives: To characterize the properties of cutaneous defects created by energy-based devices using optical coherence tomography.
Materials And Methods: Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling and non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) treatment were performed in vivo with various parameters. Following treatment, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to image and measure cutaneous defects at multiple time points over a 24 h period.
