Absolute phase measurement in heterodyne detection of transient gratings.
We present a method of measuring the absolute phase in heterodyne-detected transient grating experiments. The method permits direct and sensitive characterization of the amplitude and phase of the grating parameters. We also present a convenient implementation of this technique and demonstrate its efficacy in a cuprate superconductor.
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 کاملUse of an ac heterodyne lateral shear interferometer with real-time wavefront correction systems.
An analysis is performed to determine the accuracy with which an ac heterodyne lateral shear interferometer can measure wavefront aberrations if a white light extended source is used with the interferometer, and shot noise is the predominate noise source. The analysis shows that for uniform circular or square sources larger than a derived minimum size, the wavefront measurement accuracy depends...
متن کاملAbsolute Measurement of Base Lines up to 400 M Using Temporal Coherence Heterodyne Interferometer of Optical Frequency Comb
A heterodyne interference system is developed for base-lines measurement by using an acoustic optical modulator and a stabilized optical-frequency comb. The temporal coherence interference with the optical-frequency comb happen at discrete positions, where a pair of pulse trains overlaps with each other. An optical delay of the interferometer with a piezo-electric transducer is realized to find...
متن کاملNew absolute distance measurement technique with a self-mixing interferometer
A new compact self-aligned noncontact range finder is described. It uses the selfmixing effect inside a laser diode. Double modulation technique is proposed to improve the measurement accuracy. Wavelength modulation (WM) of the laser beam is obtained by modulating the injection current of the laser diode. Phase modulation (PM) of the laser beam is obtained by an electro-optic crystal (EOC) in t...
