Abstract

The invention relates to a light feedback telemeter for a double frequency He-Ne laser, belonging to the technical field of laser measurement. The telemeter comprises the double frequency He-Ne laser, an external cavity of laser feedback, a measurement circuit and a data processing system, wherein, the He-Ne laser comprises a gain tube, an antireflective window plate fixed on one end of the gain tube and a resonator; the resonator comprises a reflecting mirror of a first internal cavity fixed on the other end of the gain tube, a reflecting mirror of a second internal cavity fixed on the other end of the antireflective window plate, quartz crystal and a first piezoceramics. In the course of measuring, a second piezoceramics pushes the reflecting mirror of the external cavity of laser feedback to move from left to right along the laser axes so as to produce two lines of cross-polarized laser feedback signals and a phase difference exists between the two lines of cross-polarized laser feedback signals in direct proportion to the length of feedback external cavity. The telemeter is characterized by simple and compact structure as well as high performance.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dual-frequency He-Ne laser optical feedback rangefinder, which belongs to the technical field of laser measurement. Background technique [0002] Self-mixing interference or optical feedback refers to the phenomenon that in laser application systems, after the laser output light is reflected or scattered by external objects, part of the light is fed back into the laser and mixed with the light in the cavity, which causes the laser output power to change. The traditional two-beam interference signal is similar. [0003] Since self-mixing interference seriously affects the performance of the laser, researchers initially focused on how to eliminate or avoid the impact of light feedback on the laser system. In 1963, King first reported the phenomenon of self-mixing interference. When a movable external mirror reflects the laser output light back to the laser cavity, the laser power fluctuates, and the laser power fluctuates every time...
