对基于非准直外腔的单频激光高阶回馈现象及产生机理进行了研究,获得了调制幅度不均匀的高分辨率多重高阶回馈条纹,分析了多重高阶回馈条纹的特点及产生机制。提出采用基于光路阻挡的实验方法,在回馈镜反射率大于90%的强回馈中,发现了单重高阶回馈效应,获得了调制幅度均匀、无大包络的高分辨率单重高阶回馈条纹,其分辨率达到/10,而且还有进一步提高的潜力。单重高阶回馈条纹不但具有多重高阶回馈时高分辨率的优点,还具有传统弱回馈时调制幅度均匀、类正弦等特性,对进一步研制高精度回馈测量系统具有重要意义。     

Semi-classical theory and experimental research for polarization flipping in a single frequency laser with feedback effect

In this paper, we propose a semi-classical theory to successfully explain the polarization flipping in a single frequency laser. An experimental setup is built to verify this theory. The observed experimental phenomena are consistent with the theoretical analysis. We perform phase retardation measurements of birefringent components using this experimental system. The results show that the measurement repeatability is 0.12° and the measurement accuracy is 0.22 °.     

Self-mixing interferometry based on nanometer fringes and polarization flipping

Self-mixing interferometry (SMI) based on nanometer fringes and polarization flipping is realized. The interferometer comprises a single-mode He-Ne laser and a high-amplitude reflectivity feedback mirror. The nanometer fringes are obtained by tilting the external feedback mirror. The fringe density is 35 times higher than that derived with conventional two-beam interference, and each fringe corresponds to a λ/70 displacement in external cavity length. Moreover, polarization flipping occurs when the external feedback mirror moves in the opposite direction. Such movement can be used to easily distinguish displacement direction. Experimental results show an optical resolution of displacement measurement of 9.04 nm with a range of 100 μm. The proposed SMI presents promising application prospects in precisely measuring displacement and calibrating other micro-displacement sensors because of its optical wavelength traceability.

提出一种基于非准直平凹回馈腔的单频激光多重回馈光线追迹模型,采用该模型阐明了单频激光多重回馈效应的产生机理,分析了多重回馈高分辨率条纹的特性,明确了影响多重回馈条纹形状的主要因素,包括回馈镜的倾角、曲率半径、反射率以及回馈外腔长等,获得了回馈镜在不同倾角时的有效回馈阶次及其耦合系数。光线追迹分析与实验结果表明:当回馈镜倾斜角为1.7时,多重回馈效应会产生调制幅度均匀、没有大包络的高分辨率回馈条纹,每个条纹的分辨率可达/50。

Displacement sensor based on polarization mixture of orthogonal polarized He-Ne laser at 1.15μm

Displacement sensor based on the polarization mixture and the cavity tuning of the orthogonal polarized He-Ne laser 1.15μm is presented.The power tuning curves of He-Ne laser are irregular,and it is difficult to measure the change in cavity length.The distortion of the curves is caused by the higher relative excitation compared with the He-Ne laser at 633 nm.In view of its potential for the wider displacement measuring range,a new method of displacement sensing is developed.Experiments show that displacement measuring stability based on the method of the polarization mixture is better than that of the power tuning curves. The displacement sensor achieves the measuring range of 100 mm,resolution of 144 nm,and linearity of 7×10-6 .
