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.

2pi ambiguity-free optical distance measurement with subnanometer precision with a novel phase-crossing low-coherence interferometer

We report a highly accurate phase-based technique for measuring arbitrarily long optical distance with subnanometer precision. The method employs a Michelson interferometer with a pair of harmonically related light sources, one cw and the other low coherence. By slightly detuning (~2 nm) the center wavelength of the low-coherence source between scans of the target sample, we can use the phase relationship between the heterodyne signals of the cw and the low-coherence light to measure the separation between reflecting interfaces with subnanometer precision. As this technique is completely free of 2pi ambiguity, an issue that plagues most phase-based techniques, it can be used to measure arbitrarily long optical distances without loss of precision. We demonstrate one application of this technique, the high-precision determination of the differential refractive index.

Research on Theoretical Model of Linear Frequency Modulation Interferometry

In this paper, the principle of linear frequency-modulation (LFM) with an external microcavity laser is analyzed mathematically and a method to establish the math model of LFM heterodyne interference is presented. The expression of LFM heterodyne interference is deduced by an illustration of a triangular frequency modulation. At present, one application of the LFM technique is non-guide absolute distance measurement. Experimental results of a system for absolute distance measurement based on a microchip solid laser and LFM technique are given. Based on the precisely theoretical model some effective approaches to improve the performance of LFM and decrease the measuring error are discussed.

Recording depth of the heterodyne laser interferometer for cochlear vibration measurement

Measurement of the cochlear partition vibration as a function of the optical-axis (z-axis) position in the gerbil cochlea showed that the velocity distributes over a range of more than 300 microm, which is larger than the thickness of the cochlear partition. This finding suggests that the recording depth (RD) of the heterodyne interferometer probably is not as small as reported in the literature. In the current experiment, the RD of the heterodyne laser interferometer was studied by measuring the velocity of a vibrating mirror as a function of the z-axis position. Results demonstrate that the optical sectioning characteristic, measured by the intensity of the reflected laser beam as a function of the z-axis position, is not able to correctly estimate the RD of the heterodyne interferometer: the RD is much larger than optical sectioning, indicating a poor spatial resolution along the z axis.

Heterodyne interferometer scheme using a double pass in an acousto-optic modulator

We introduce a heterodyne interferometer scheme utilizing the double-pass arrangement of the deflected beams of an acousto-optic modulator. To prove our new idea, the interferometer has been applied for measuring small amplitude vibrations. The output intermediate frequency signal from the interferometer is processed by using an I/Q demodulator. In theory, it can provide the quantum noise limited sensitivity, whereas, in our present Letter, the sensitivity of the phase measurement is limited by the resolution of the 16?bit A/D converter used for processing the I/Q signals. Details of our interferometer scheme are discussed.
