Spectroscopically in situ traceable heterodyne frequency-scanning interferometry for distances up
ثبت نشده
چکیده
High-resolution saturation spectroscopy of iodine transitions at 637 nm is used to generate physically stable frequency reference markers for an interferometric absolute distance measurement based on frequency-scanning interferometry. Both experiments are performed simultaneously, posing severe challenges to the in principle well-established experimental techniques. The software-based enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio is discussed in detail, as well as the demodulation and separation of the heterodyne interferometer signals. Verification measurements up to fifty meters indicate a relative measurement uncertainty well below 10 −6.

Real-time heterodyne imaging interferometry: focal-plane amplitude and phase demodulation using a three-phase correlation image sensor.
A method of real-time heterodyne imaging interferometry using a three-phase correlation image sensor (3PCIS) is proposed. It simultaneously demodulates the amplitude and phase images of an incident interference pattern at an ordinary frame rate with good accuracy, thus overcoming the trade-off among measurement time, spatial resolution, and demodulation accuracy suffered in conventional interfe...
متن کاملRandom depth access full-field heterodyne low-coherence interferometry utilizing acousto-optic modulation and a complementary metaloxide semiconductor camera.
With analog scanning, time-domain low-coherence interferometry lacks precise depth information, and optical carrier generation demands a linear scanning speed. Full-field heterodyne low-coherence interferometry that uses a logarithmic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor camera, acousto-optic modulation, and digital depth stepping is reported, with which random regions of interest, lateral a...
متن کاملReal-Time Heterodyne Interferometry with Correlation Image Sensor
Optical heterodyne interfereometry (HI) (R. Dändliker, 1973; N.A. Massie, 1979) is an interferometric technique that employs two interfering beams of slightly different frequencies. Interference of these beams yields a time-varying sinusoidal intensity signal whose frequency equals the difference between the frequencies of the two beams. The signal and frequency are called beat signal and beat ...
