Abstract

The invention discloses a dual-optical-frequency-comb linear spectral encoding imaging method. According to the method, two optical frequency combs with locked repetition frequencies are used, and thetwo optical frequency combs output signal light and local oscillator light respectively. The signal light is divided into detection light and reference light. The detection light passes a spectral encoder to be focused on the surface of a sample to be measured, the sample to be measured is encoded, and then the sample to be measured and the local oscillator light are subjected to dual-optical-frequency-comb heterodyne interference. The reference light directly interferes with the local oscillator light. Two interference pulse signals are generated and are converted into digital signals by signal acquisition. Optical reference compensation detection jitter is used, and a sample absolute distance with high precision and high stability, a linear reflectivity and phase information are obtained. The sample is moved linearly, continuous measurement is performed, and a 3D topographic image and a 2D reflectance image with high precision are achieved. The dual-optical-frequency-comb linear spectral encoding imaging has the advantages of simple structure, high measurement speed, high precision, a large amount of information and high expansion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ultrafast optics, and in particular relates to a dual optical frequency comb linear spectrum coding imaging method. Background technique [0002] In the 1980s, the emergence of non-optical scanning probe microscopy, especially atomic force microscopy, can advance the resolution of imaging to nanometer-level precision. Different types of microscope structures emerge in endlessly, but these microscopic techniques or penetration depths are very limited. Small, or can only give information on the surface of the object, and to varying degrees, there are problems such as complex system structure and harsh imaging detection environment. It is difficult to realize simultaneous measurement of multiple signals at the same time. At the same time, the refresh rate of traditional optical microscopes is directly limited by the frame number of photoelectric devices such as CCD and CMOS, making it difficult to achieve h...
