Dispersive white-light spectral two-beam interference under general measurement conditions

Spectral-domain interference of two beams from a white-light source is analysed theoretically and experimentally when the effects of both dispersion in an interferometer and the response function of a spectrometer are taken into account. The spectral interference law is expressed analytically under the condition of a Gaussian response function of a spectrometer. The theoretical analysis is accompanied by experiments employing a dispersive Michelson interferometer and a low-resolution spectrometer. Two experiments with different amounts of dispersion in the Michelson interferometer are realized giving rise to the spectral interference fringes resolved only in the vicinity of the so-called equalization wavelength, at which the group optical path difference between interfering beams is zero. The recorded spectral interferograms are in good agreement with the theoretical ones, which are modelled knowing dispersion in the interferometer and the bandpass of the spectrometer.

Optical coherence tomography as a method of quality inspection for printed electronics products

Application of time domain, ultra high resolution optical coherence tomography (UHR-OCT) in printed electronics products’ quality inspection is demonstrated. Presented study was done using experimental UHR-OCT device based on a Kerr-lens mode locked Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser, photonic crystal fibre and modified, free-space Michelson interferometer. Possibilities of the technique are demonstrated by analysis of an RF antenna—example of printed electronics products. Measurements were done with submicron axial resolution, offered by UHR-OCT system developed in our laboratory. Such high resolution is necessary due to the thickness of material layers used in printed electronics. In addition to tomography imaging, numerical results were compared with data provided by two commercially available measurement devices: Wyko NT3300 optical profiler and Dektak 8 stylus profiler (both Veeco). Comparison of profile heights and their spatial correlation is presented. Ability for full volumetric reconstruction and accuracy justified with reference measurements prove OCT to be a reliable tool in printed electronics product testing.

Measurement of angular distributions by use of low-coherence interferometry for light-scattering spectroscopy

We present a novel interferometer for measuring angular distributions of backscattered light. The new system exploits a low-coherence source in a modified Michelson interferometer to provide depth resolution, as in optical coherence tomography, but includes an imaging system that permits the angle of the reference field to be varied in the detector plane by simple translation of an optical element. We employ this system to examine the angular distribution of light scattered by polystyrene microspheres. The measured data indicate that size information can be recovered from angular-scattering distributions and that the coherence length of the source influences the applicability of Mie theory.     

Absolute distance measurement by using modified dual-wavelength heterodyne Michelson interferometer

This study proposes a modified dual-wavelength heterodyne Michelson interferometer for measuring the absolute distance that can avoid the influence of wavelength drifts. This modified interferometer consists of two conventional Michelson interferometers. A standard plate is introduced in one arm of one Michelson interferometer. The phase differences of p- and s- polarization test lights in the two interferometers can be measured accurately by dual-wavelength heterodyne interferometry. Hence, the absolute distance can be determined by substituting the phase differences into special derived equations. Meanwhile, the test lights suffer from the same wavelength drift effect. Therefore, the negative effect caused by the drift can be offset, and the measurement stability can be significantly increased. The feasibility of this method was demonstrated with a measurement resolution of about 1.36 μm. Additionally, this method has a simple structure, easy operation and rapid measurement.

A high-resolution spatial heterodyning interference spectrometer

A novel spectrometer which has a resolution of 0.013 nm with high throughput is described. The system uses a Michelson interferometer in which the mirrors have been replaced with Littrow-mounted diffraction gratings. First-order diffracted beams returning from the gratings interfere at the interferometer output to produce a spatial interferogram which is heterodyned about an optical frequency determined by the setting angles of the gratings. The heterodyning process leads to increased resolution, but limits the free-spectral range of the instrument to, in our case, about 3 nm. This is sufficient for characterizing narrow-band sources such as laser diodes. We present the theory of operation of the instrument and some sample spectra obtained from a sodium vapor lamp, a HeNe discharge, and a 670 nm diode laser.     

Investigation on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography using a tungsten halogen lamp as light source

The objective of this research was to investigate a new detection method using a thermal light source in a spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) operation to improve both image acquisition rate and axial resolution economically. A tungsten halogen lamp was chosen as the illumination source and a Michelson fiber interferometer was employed to generate the interference pattern of an object collected by a spectrometer; the inner structure of the object was obtained from the interference pattern by a Fourier transform. An experiment was performed by measuring a thin film coated on a glass base with the system, and the experimental results indicated that the structure of the thin film could be clearly observed as expected. It was theoretically stated and experimentally verified that the technique was feasible and enables imaging to realize the reconstructions of internal structure of engineering and biological object.     

Multiplexed fiber Fabry-Perot temperature sensor system using white-light interferometry

A novel monitoring system for a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI) temperature sensor has yielded a resolution of 0.013 degrees C (0.0025 fringe). Light from a broadband source passes through a scanned Michelson interferometer and is reflected from a FFPI to produce a fringe pattern, the temporal position of which is proportional to a change in the optical length of the fiber interferometer. A second Michelson interferometer with a distributed-feedback laser source is used to correct for variations in the translation rate of the motor-driven scanning mirror. Coherence multiplexing of three such sensors has also been demonstrated.
