Browse by Category: Main > Electrical & Energy
Class Information
Number: 250/227.17
Name: Radiant energy > Photocells; circuits and apparatus > Optical or pre-photocell system > Light conductor > Condition responsive light guide (e.g., light guide is physically affected by parameter sensed which results in light conveyed to the photocell) > Causing polarization change in fiber
Description: Subject matter in which the condition sensed changes the polarization of the light passing through the fiber due to some parameter affecting the fiber so that light of a different polarization reaches the photodetector than was incident on the fiber.
