Problems solved by technology

Among them, the injection current modulation is aimed at the self-mixing interferometer of the semiconductor laser. The wavelength of the laser output light is modulated by changing the injection current of the semiconductor laser. The wavelength continuous modulation range of this method is small, and the output light intensity will be larger when the current is injected. fluctuations, resulting in large measurement errors; external cavity phase modulation is achieved by placing an electro-optic modulator between the laser and the measured target to achieve modulation of the optical phase. This modulation method does not require mechanical moving parts, and the accuracy of displacement measurement is high. EO modulators are expensive and very sensitive to the polarization of the output light, which limits their use in some measurement environments

Abstract

The invention discloses laser self-mixing interference measuring device and a measuring method. A rotating platform bears an optical parallel and is placed outside a laser cavity, a laser beam is incident to a target reflector by penetrating the optical parallel and becomes a feedback light after reflection, the feedback light returns to the laser cavity along the same way, the feedback light produces self-mixing interference effect with laser in the cavity, the rotating platform drives the optical parallel to do rotational motion, so as to change optical paths of the laser beam inside and outside the optical parallel and realize modulation on a self-mixing interference signal, the modulated self-mixing interference signal is acquired to a computer by virtue of a photoelectric detector, processing is performed by a software system of the computer to obtain phase information of the interference signal, and multiple physical quantities such as vibration and displacement of the target reflector can be accurately measured. The laser self-mixing interference measuring device disclosed by the invention modulates an external cavity optical path in a way that the optical parallel rotates and constructs a self-mixing interference measuring instrument with large modulation range, high precision, simple operation and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical sensing, in particular to a laser self-mixing interference measurement device and a phase modulation measurement method. Background technique [0002] The self-mixing interference (Self-mixing Interference, SMI) effect refers to the effect that the light wave emitted from the laser is reflected back to the laser cavity by an external object, and interferes with the light wave in the laser cavity. Since the feedback light carries the information of the external object, the output characteristics of the laser are modulated by the object outside the cavity, so that the measurement of the physical quantity of the target object can be realized by using this characteristic. The self-mixing interference system only needs one optical channel, so it has the characteristics of simple structure and compactness; in addition, it is easy to collimate, high sensitivity, and convenient signal detection (both from...
