Two-mode fiber-optic time-delay scanner for white-light interferometry.
We present a scheme for scanning time delay by a variable-delay interferometer constructed from a two-mode optical fiber. The delay is generated by coupling between the two spatial modes of the fiber by means of acousto-optic interaction. The construction and performance of the system are discussed.
