Effect of angle of incidence on self-mixing laser Doppler velocimeter and optimization of the system

Based on the theory of speckle and self-mixing interference in laser-diode, three-facet cavity model is introduced to analyze laser Doppler effect based on self-mixing interference in the case of a rough surface, and numerical solution of the signal is obtained. Simulation results of speckle-modulated Doppler signal based on self-mixing effect and tracking accuracy at different incident angles are given using parameters employed in the experiment. Simulation results indicate incident angle of around 30° is most suitable when both tracking accuracy and signal amplitude are considered. Experimental waveforms agree well with simulation results, and similar conclusions as simulation predictions about changing trend of tracking accuracies of the system at different incident angles can be made. Combining with difference frequency analog phase-lock loop (PLL) technique and appropriate sampling time, a laser Doppler velocimeter with tracking accuracy better than 1.3% in the range of 10-470 mm/s is realized.     

Self-mixing interference in distributed feedback laser diode with multiple external cavities

The self-mixing interference in distributed feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) with multiple external cavities is analyzed. Each external cavity is considered to be an optical thin film, and the equivalent reflectivity can be got from the theory of the thin film optics, the general expressions of gain and frequency in compound laser cavity are theoretically deduced. This principle is helpful to build the fiber-coupled self-mixing interference system. Considering that different parameters have influence on self-mixing interference, we make some simulation analysis at different conditions. The output of self-mixing interference is analyzed in numerical analysis, and the amplitude variations of the output gain is discussed along with different parameters, e.g., the coupling coefficient, the linewidth enhancement factor, and the reflection coefficient of external reflector.

Speckle correlation for the analysis of random processes at rough surfaces

The importance of technological processes like corrosion, ablation or deposition causes interest in the quantitative monitoring of changes at rough surfaces. Thus, there is a need for effective methods to measure the statistical parameters characterizing changes in the profile or the material composition of such objects. The speckle field scattered from the surface is used as information carrier and its change is measured by correlation. This is realized by sophisticated data acquisition and digital processing techniques. An important issue is the interpretation of the correlation output in terms of statistical parameters describing the surface change. For many random surfaces a geometrical relation between surface profile and optical phase proves satisfactory. This allows to determine the standard deviation of the profile change. For a verification, speckle decorrelation in model surfaces of known deviation is measured. The paper introduces the speckle correlation concept, outlines some history and current setups and describes methods for data evaluation. The reliability of the quantitative interpretation of the speckle decorrelation is demonstrated. The method is illustrated by studies of metal corrosion and material removal in the cleaning of historical objects by laser ablation.

Continuous Wavelength Sweep of External Cavity 630 nm Laser Diode without Antireflection Coating on Output Facet

We developed a simple method of continuous wavelength sweep using a commercial laser diode (LD) without antireflection (AR) coating. A 630 nm AlGalnP LD was installed in a Littrow-type external cavity. In this cavity, the LD has the same effect as an etalon, and its free spectral range can be controlled easily by the LD drive current. By scanning the grating angle of the external cavity and LD drive current simultaneously, we obtained single-mode oscillation and continuous wavelength sweep of over 22 GHz without mode hopping. This technique is simple and inexpensive because it does not need AR coating on its output facet, and does not use a servo system which requires apparatuses such as a lock-in amplifier and local oscillator.
