Optimization of displacement-measuring quadrature interferometers considering the real properties of optical components.

چکیده
We present the influence of alignment and the real properties of optical components on the performance of a two-detector homodyne displacement-measuring quadrature laser interferometer. An experimental method, based on the optimization of visibility and sensitivity, was established and theoretically described to assess the performance and stability of the interferometer. We show that the optimal performance of such interferometers is achieved with the iterative alignment procedure described.

Principles of calculating the dynamical response of misaligned complex resonant optical interferometers
In the long-baseline laser interferometers for measuring gravitational waves that are now under construction, understanding the dynamical response to small distortions such as angular alignment fluctuations presents a unique challenge. These interferometers comprise multiple coupled optical resonators with light storage times approaching 100 m. We present a basic formalism to calculate the freq...

A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...

متن کاملLaser Doppler Displacement Measurement
Existing precision displacement-measuring devices are primarily based on linear encoders (optical or magnetic) or laser interferometers. Most encoders use grating scales and frequency counters, while most interferometers use stabilized lasers and fringe counters. In general, interferometers are more expensive and more accurate than linear encoders. However, there are large gaps in price and per...
