Detection of Self-Mixing Interferometric Fringes of a Laser Sensor Using Matched Filter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-Mixing (SM) is a promising technique for sensing vibration, distance, velocity etc. To retrieve accurate metric measurements from an acquired SM signal, it is necessary to correctly detect all interferometric fringes. Traditionally, SM fringes are detected by a derivative based threshold (DBT) scheme. However, such a scheme gives correct results only for SM signals with high signalto-noise ratio (SNR) and moderate optical feedback regime. So, in this paper, a better fringe detection method, based on Matched Filter (MF), is proposed which has provided correct SM fringe detection even in case of low SNR and weak optical feedback regime. The proposed approach has resulted in fringe detection accuracy of 100% for a low SNR SM signal belonging to the weak feedback regime.

Real time self-mixing interferometric laser sensor for embedded applications
A Self-Mixing (SM) interferometric laser displacement sensor is presented that is capable of providing correct target measurement in real-time even when it is subject to extraneous parasitic movements. The sensor achieves such robustness by using an embedded MEMS Solid-State Accelerometer (SSA) that has been coupled with the laser sensor. The SSA thus measures the extraneous movement acting on ...

We report on the development of an all-interferometric optomechatronic sensor for the detection of multi-degrees-of-freedom displacements of a remote target. The prototype system exploits the self-mixing technique and consists only of a laser head, equipped with six laser sources, and a suitably designed reflective target. The feasibility of the system was validated experimentally for both sing...
