两种红外干涉图采集及光谱复原方法的对比研究

目前,傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱仪主要的数据采样方法有He-Ne激光触发方法和Brault方法。Brault方法使用硬件计数器而且采集到的数据有延时,会增加数据处理的时间,因此讨论了一种基于Brault方法改进的数据采样与处理方法,该方法采用同步数据采集卡,同时采样两路数据,用近似的相似三角形法得到精确的He-Ne激光过零点信息,然后根据三次样条插值方法重采样干涉信号,实现了软件数据采样与处理。将该方法与He-Ne激光触发方法得到的光谱图进行对比。结果表明,两种方法得到的背景光谱图中H2O和CO2的吸收峰与标准吸收谱带一致,基于Brault方法改进的数据采样与处理方法提高了光谱的信噪比,其激光过零点信息可得到动镜扫描速度的稳定性,而He-Ne激光触发方法的采样与处理时间小于改进的Brault方法。

多纵模激光二极管自混合干涉的观察和分析

自混合干涉信号的幅度和波形均会随外腔静态长度发生周期性变化。实验测量了干涉信号幅度和波形随外腔静态长度的变化,并用多模自混合干涉信号叠加的方法计算分析了干涉信号的幅度随外腔静态长度的变化,然后考虑反馈光对内腔反射率和激光介质增益的影响计算分析了干涉信号的波形随外腔静态长度的变化。结果表明,多模激光自混合干涉信号随外腔静态长度变化的周期为内腔的光学长度,而其主极大区域的宽度为激光的相干长度,小于内腔的光学长度。多纵模自混合干涉信号的叠加导致自混合干涉信号的幅度随外腔静态长度发生周期性变化,而波形随外腔静态长度周期性变化则是内腔反射率和激光介质增益均受反馈光影响导致的非线性的结果。

激光二极管自混合干涉信号随外腔长度衰减

理论分析了激光二极管自混合干涉信号随外腔长度增大的变化特点及规律。从复合谐振腔干涉函数出发,推导出激光二极管自混合干涉信号随外腔长度增加指数衰减,衰减系数与光频虚部成正比,并给出光频虚部和实部满足的超越方程组。求解该超越方程组得到,当外腔长度超过一个临界值时,光频虚部随外腔长度近似反比衰减,则激光二极管自混合干涉信号随外腔长度增加衰减很缓慢;当外腔长度小于该临界值时,外腔反馈会使光频虚部增大,而且光频虚部随外腔长度变化而振荡,激光二极管自混合干涉信号出现复杂的状态。外腔反馈强度越大,或激光单模线宽越大,这一外腔长度的临界值则越小。分析激光二极管自混合干涉还需要考虑外腔反馈对光频虚部的影响。

Laser self-mixing interference fibre sensor

Fibre sensors exhibit a number of advantages over other sensors such as high sensitivity, electric insulation, corrosion resistance, interference rejection and so on. And laser self-mixing interference can accurately detect the phase difference of feedback light. In this paper, a novel laser self-mixing interference fibre sensor that combines the advantages of fibre sensors with those of laser self-mixing interference is presented.

Measurement of the velocity inside an all-fiber DBR laser by self-mixing technique

The self-mixing interference for optical velocity sensing is experimentally investigated in an all-fiber configuration distributed Bragg reflector laser. Simultaneously, theory model of self-mixing interference laser Doppler velocimeter based on quasi-analytical method. The experimental results show Doppler shift frequency is linearly proportional to the value of the velocity which agrees well with theory analysis. The results preserve an enough signal-to-noise ratio around 40 dB in the range from 39.3–317.0 mm/s (measurement range depending on bandwidth of circuit) for velocity measurement. Additionally, the cutoff circuit is used in our system to get a stable Doppler signal and reduces the error rate to 0.136 % in practical measurement.     

Quadrature demodulation technique for self-mixing interferometry displacement sensor

A new, to the best of our knowledge, signal processing method based on quadrature demodulation technique is presented for laser diode self-mixing interferometry(LDSMI) displacement sensor. Phase modulation of the laser beam is obtained by an electro-optic modulator (EOM) in the external cavity. Detection of the target's displacement can be easily achieved by sampling the interference signal at those times which satisfied certain conditions. The major advantage of the technique is that it does not involve any complicated calculation and insensitive to the sampling error. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the displacement measurement resolution of the laser diode self-mixing displacement sensor to a few nanometers.
