  • Patent number: 9036011
    Abstract: Provided is an image extraction method of optical phase extraction system. The image extraction method may include checking whether a phase error due to an environmental disturbance of optical fiber occurs by monitoring an output signal obtained by interfering reflection optical signals reflected through two paths. When a phase error occurs, an error is compensated using a phase compensation control method of closed loop type through one of the two paths and an image is extracted by capturing an image of object in a state that the image of object is shifted by the set phase value when a phase error is compensated. According to the inventive concept, a phase error occurring in an optical fiber type interferometer due to an environmental disturbance is minimized or compensated. Also, since an interference image accurately shifted by the phase value set among arbitrary various phase values is obtained through a camera, reliability of three-dimensional phase information being extracted is guaranteed.

  • Publication number: 20150043166
    Abstract: The optical transmitter module may include a thermal-electric cooler comprising at least one metal pattern formed on a side of a cooling plate temperature of which is controlled by thermo-electric cooling elements, a laser diode installed in one of the at least one metal pattern, and a monitor photo diode which is installed in another one of the at least one metal pattern and monitors change of light signals emitted from the laser diode. Therefore, since elements are located on the same side of the cooling plate, the optical transmitter module may have a simple structure and an advantage that light signals emitted from the laser diode can be directly coupled to the optical fiber without optical path conversions. Also, since the laser diode is installed with a small gap from thermal-electric elements, the temperature control characteristics of the thermal-electric cooler can be enhanced.
