Abstract
We present the principle of optical frequency modulation via the Doppler
effect obtained by rapidly stretching an optical fiber and thus modifying
the optical path of the light propagating in the fiber. This procedure creates
a pure frequency shift, with no degradation of the spectrum. Moreover, the
effect is wavelength independent and can therefore be applied to any type
of light source. We show an experimental realization in which a frequency
excursion of was obtained with a bobbin vibrating at 180 Hz.
