        Abstract
        Electro-optical sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) use a pulsed laser to oversample an input signal at two Mach-Zehnder interferometer modulators. A fiber lattice accumulator is embedded within a feedback loop around a single-bit quantizer to spectrally shape the quantization noise to fall outside the signal band of interest. Applications of electro-optical sigma-delta ADCs include digitizing wideband radio frequency signals directly at an antenna (digital antenna). The design considerations, construction process and experimental evaluation of the electro-optical sigma-delta ADC are presented. The experimental results are compared with a computer model of the electro- optical sigma-delta sampling and digitization process.

          Developing and testing of a prototype electro-optical phase encoded position transducer 

          Parriott, Gary R. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-12);
          A proof-of-concept experimental validation of a proposed idea for a prototype electro-optical phase encoded position transducer was conducted. The intensity of two IR LED beams were modulated sinusoidally at frequency ...
