Optical Doppler shift measurement using a rotating mirror
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical Doppler shift demonstration experiments are not a simple task since the light source cannot usually be moved in a sufficiently smooth and uniform manner to keep the level of noise well below of that of the signal. For that reason most demonstration experiments are usually performed with sound or with microwaves. Previous works have been reported using a moving mirror in order to produce a moving light source, but small perturbation of its trajectory, as small as the optical wavelength, can produce a large noise. Using a rotating mirror, in which one beam is reflected from the advancing side and the other beam is reflected from the receding part of a rotating mirror, can overcome many of the noise generating effects. In the present work we report the construction and operation of a demonstration apparatus for measuring optical Doppler shift based on a rotating mirror.

متن کاملUsing Doppler shift induced by Galvanometric mirror scanning to reach shot noise limit with laser optical feedback imaging setup.
This paper proposes what we believe is a new method to remove the contribution of parasitic reflections in the images of the laser optical feedback imaging (LOFI) technique. This simple method allows us to extend the LOFI technique to long-distance applications, as imaging through a fog or a smoke. The LOFI technique is an ultrasensitive imaging technique that is interesting for imaging objects...

We present a theoretical model to sufficiently investigate the optical rotational Doppler effect based on modal expansion method. We find that the frequency shift content is only determined by the surface of spinning object and the reduced Doppler shift is linear to the difference of mode index between input and output orbital angular momentum (OAM) light, and linear to the rotating speed of sp...

A second error appears in the Comment: only one moving object (one rotating disk) had been considered according to Fig. (2). However, two moving objects (two disks rotating in opposite directions v and –v), had been used in [2], and special relativity predicts Doppler shifts between all moving objects. Hence, a shift is expected to occur for a signal emitted from a moving object (rotating disk ...
