Methods for simulating the readout of lengths and angles in laser interferometers with Gaussian beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper methods to simulate the signals in laser interferometers are proposed. The central part deals with the computation of the photocurrent, subsequent phase demodulation and finally the generation of interferometer signals, such as the longitudinal phase readout, differential wavefront sensing signal, differential power sensing and contrast. Here, fundamental Gaussian beams without astigmatism are assumed. The methods are validated in several examples by comparison with experimental data, with analytical results as well as with an intuitively predictable system. & 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Numerical Calculation of Coupling Efficiency for an Elegant Hermite-Cosh-Gaussian Beams
The ABCD matrix method is used to simplifying the theoretical coupling efficiency calculation of Elegant Hermite-Cosh-Gaussian (EHChG) laser beams to a Single Mode Fiber (SMF) with a quadric lens formed on the tip. The integrals of coupling efficiency relation are calculated numerically by Boole method. Meanwhile, the structure parameters of surface-lensed fiber are optimized in numerical simul...
متن کاملVanishing tilt-to-length coupling for a singular case in two-beam laser interferometers with Gaussian beams.
The omnipresent tilt-to-length coupling in two-beam laser interferometers, frequently a nuisance in precision measurements, vanishes for the singular case of two beams with identical parameters and complete detection of both beams without clipping. This effect has been observed numerically and is explained in this manuscript by the cancellation of two very different effects of equal magnitude a...

متن کاملSensitivity Enhancement of Ring Laser Gyroscope Using Dielectric-Graphene Photonic Crystal
In a ring laser gyroscope, due to the rotation and the Sagnac effect, a phase difference between the two counter-propagating beams is generated. In this device, the higher phase difference between these two beams causes the better the interference pattern detection, and thus the sensitivity is increased. In this paper, the effect of inserting a dielectric-graphene photonic crystal inside a ring...
