Self-mixing Interferometer for Contactless Vibration Measurements
Self-mixing interferometer is a suitable tool for implementing industrial sensors, with the advantages of optical techniques, such as high accuracy and contactless operation, but at potential very-low cost. This paper describes some techniques recently developed for realizing vibration measurements, based on different signal elaborations and with different performances and applications. Particu...
متن کاملHeterodyne interferometer with unequal path lengths
Laser interferometry is an extensively used diagnostic for plasma experiments. Existing plasma interferometers are designed on the presumption that the scene and reference beam path lengths have to be equal, a requirement that is costly in both the number of optical components and the alignment complexity. It is shown here that having equal path lengths is not necessary, instead, what is requir...
متن کاملImproved technique for measuring full-field absolute phases in a common-path heterodyne interferometer.
When an asymmetric triangle voltage signal is applied to drive an electro-optic modulator, interference signals with two groups of periodic sinusoidal segments with different frequencies are obtained. An improved method is proposed to fit these two groups of segments, and their associated phases can be determined. The absolute phase can be obtained by subtracting the initial phase from the phas...
متن کاملHeterodyne Angle Deviation Interferometry in Vibration and Bubble Measurements
We proposed heterodyne angle deviation interferometry (HADI) for angle deviation measurements. The phase shift of an angular sensor (which can be a metal film or a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) prism) is proportional to the deviation angle of the test beam. The method has been demonstrated in bubble and speaker’s vibration measurements in this paper. In the speaker’s vibration measurement, th...
متن کاملHeterodyne displacement interferometer, insensitive for input polarization.
Periodic nonlinearity (PNL) in displacement interferometers is a systematic error source that limits measurement accuracy. The PNL of coaxial heterodyne interferometers is highly influenced by the polarization state and orientation of the source frequencies. In this Letter, we investigate this error source and discuss two interferometer designs, designed at TU Delft, that showed very low levels...
