Abstract :
A bipolar fiber-optic signal processing and photodetection concept which combines a dual-mode optical fiber with a fast diffusion-driven photodetector is demonstrated. A discussion of the concept is given, and the results of a simple experiment are given. Various permutations of the ideas described can permit different kinds of coherent and incoherent optical-signal processing and optical control of pulsed photodetection
