Space position measurement using long-path heterodyne interferometer with optical frequency comb.
A heterodyne interference system was developed for position measurement. A stabilized optical-frequency comb is used as the laser source. The preliminary experiment to measure a distance of 22.478 m shows a drift of 1.6 μm in 20 minutes after the temperature compensation. Comparison and frequency shift experiments have been done for a distance of about 7.493 m. The experimental results show tha...
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 کاملSelf-stabilization of an optical frequency comb using a short-path-length interferometer.
We stabilized the repetition rate of an optical frequency comb using a self-referenced phase-locked loop. The phase-locked loop generated its error signal with a fiber-optic delay-line interferometer that had a path-length difference of 8 m. We used the stabilized repetition rate to generate a 10 GHz signal with a single-sideband phase noise that was limited by environmental noise to -120 dBc/...
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 کاملCharacterization of frequency noise on a broadband infrared frequency comb using optical heterodyne techniques.
We measure the frequency noise across a Cr:forsterite infrared frequency comb through the optical heterodyne beat of different comb teeth against stable continuous wave (CW) lasers. This sensitive measurement shows strong correlations of the frequency noise between spectral components of the comb, relative to a fixed optical frequency near the 1.3 micron carrier of the Cr:forsterite laser. The ...
