Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rotational motion technology, and in particular to a remote velocity measurement method and system based on the partially coherent rotating Doppler effect. Background Technology
[0002] The Doppler effect quantitatively reveals the relationship between frequency shifts caused by relative motion and velocity. With its outstanding advantages such as non-contact operation, fast response, wide bandwidth, high spatial resolution, and long-range measurement, this effect has found wide application in fields such as astronomical observation, atomic cooling, precision metrology, and laser remote sensing. However, the traditional linear Doppler effect can only detect the radial translational velocity of a target and cannot directly obtain the object's rotational angular velocity. This limitation spurred the research on the rotating Doppler effect, which, by analyzing the frequency shift after the interaction between an orbital angular momentum beam and a rotating object, enables the direct measurement of the object's rotational velocity.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for measuring rotational speed using the rotating Doppler effect are as follows: 1. Detection by constructing a structured light field with superimposed positive and negative topological charges. This involves generating two spiral phase beams with opposite signs on a spatial light modulator, modulating the beams into a single ring with a radial intensity structure of p=0 Laguerre-Gaussian mode and a petal structure with twice the topological charge in the angular direction. The modulated structured light is then irradiated onto the rough surface of an object, and the rotational speed is measured by the beat frequency signal of the scattered light. 2. Signal propagation using multi-core optical fiber. A seven-core optical fiber is used for signal transmission, with the outer six cores serving as the transmission channels for the probe light. Selective excitation generates a specific spatial intensity distribution. After scattering by the rotating object, the middle core collects the scattered light signal, which is then transmitted back to the signal receiver via the optical fiber. The time-domain signal is then analyzed using Fourier transform. 3. Velocity measurement is achieved by using an incoherent structured light source as illumination. A petal-shaped intensity pattern is formed using an incoherent light projector and incident on the rotating target. The time-domain signal of the total light intensity is received by a photodetector, and the object's rotational speed is obtained by performing a Fourier transform on the time-domain signal. 4. At the transmitting end, a fundamental mode Gaussian beam is used to illuminate the rotating object, and the amplitude and spiral phase of the Gaussian beam are modulated by the rotating object to form a scattered light field. At the receiving end, a vortex beam is used as a reference light. The fundamental mode component in the scattered light of the reference light beats with the various orbital angular momentum modes in the received echo signal light of the rotating object. The different modes in the echo signal light are mapped onto the rotating Doppler spectrum to achieve multimode reception of the echo signal light. Finally, the vortex beam is used as a reference light, and the beat frequency is used for measurement. However, in the above measurement methods, the rotation axis of the rotating object and the center of the light source must be precisely aligned. Otherwise, the distance or angle from different scattering points on the rotating object to the detector will change differently with rotation, resulting in the superposition of multiple signals of different frequencies in the time-domain light intensity signal. This causes multiple frequency components to appear in the spectrum after Fourier transform, i.e., frequency broadening, which in turn causes the characteristic frequency corresponding to the rotation speed to be submerged, making it impossible to accurately obtain the rotation speed of the rotating object. At the same time, the above methods can only measure the rotation speed of the object and cannot obtain the polarization information of the rotating object, resulting in a single measurement dimension.
[0004] In summary, existing methods for measuring rotational speed based on the rotational Doppler effect have the problems of failing to accurately obtain the rotational speed of the rotating object when it rotates off-axis, failing to obtain the polarization information of the rotating object, and having a single measurement dimension. Summary of the Invention

Based on the modulation characteristics of the polarization response of the rotating object under test to the electric field component in the Jones matrix when the object reflects the partially coherent light of the modulated Gaussian-Sher modulus, the intensity expression of the first periodic time-domain beam related to the polarization information is obtained. Based on the expression for the light intensity of the first periodic time-domain beam related to polarization information, it is found that the amplitude of the polarization peak signal is proportional to the difference between the light intensity of the electric field component perpendicular to the incident plane and the light intensity of the electric field component parallel to the incident plane in the Jones matrix. Based on the fact that the amplitude of the rotating peak signal is proportional to the intensity of the elliptically polarized light reflected by the rotating object under test, it is found that the amplitude of the rotating peak signal is proportional to the sum of the light intensities of the electric field components perpendicular to the incident plane and the electric field components parallel to the incident plane in the Jones matrix.

The first modulation module is used to modulate the expanded laser beam to generate Gaussian-Sherlock mode partially coherent light; The second modulation module is used to modulate the Gaussian-Sherlock partial coherent light into a circularly polarized state and illuminate the rotating object under test. A rotating linear polarizer is used to modulate the elliptically polarized light reflected from a rotating object under test, generating a first periodic time-domain beam related to the polarization information. A three-hole post-modulation mask is used to filter the first periodic time-domain beam to obtain a second periodic time-domain beam related to the rotational speed information. The Fourier transform module is used to perform Fourier transform on the second-period time-domain beam; A photodetector is used to acquire the second-period time-domain beam after Fourier transform; The host computer, connected to the photodetector, is used to obtain the Fourier spectrum of the second-period time-domain beam after Fourier transform, and to acquire two peak signals in the Fourier spectrum. The peak signal whose horizontal coordinate is equal to twice the rotational speed of the rotating linear polarizer is taken as the polarization peak signal, and the remaining peak signal is taken as the rotational peak signal. The angular velocity of the rotating object under test is calculated based on the frequency of the rotational peak signal, and the polarization response of the rotating object under test is obtained based on the amplitude of the polarization peak signal and the amplitude of the rotational peak signal.

[0016] The remote velocity measurement method based on the partially coherent rotating Doppler effect provided in this application has the following advantages: First, the laser source is modulated to generate Gaussian-Sherlock partially coherent light. Since this beam is less sensitive to phase differences at scattering points, modulating it into a circularly polarized state imparts rotational symmetry. When this light illuminates a rotating object under test, the light scattered from multiple scattering points on the object is incoherently superimposed, preventing frequency superposition and thus avoiding frequency broadening that could hinder accurate acquisition of rotational speed-related frequencies. Furthermore, the elliptically polarized light reflected from the rotating object contains both the periodic signal of the object's rotation and the cluttered signal from off-axis scattering points. Modulating this light with a rotating linear polarizer converts the periodic signal of the object's rotation into a polarization-modulated periodic signal, filtering out the cluttered signal from the scattering points. This results in a first periodic time-domain beam containing... The method incorporates the polarization information of the object and then uses a three-hole post-modulation mask to filter it. This ensures that the temporal periodic variation of the second periodic time-domain beam is determined only by the rotational angular velocity of the rotating object under test, and is independent of the position of a single scattering point and the off-axis distance. Finally, the Fourier spectrum obtained by performing a Fourier transform on the second periodic time-domain beam contains only polarization-related peak signals and rotational speed-related peak signals. Thus, the rotational speed and polarization response of the rotating object under test can be obtained simultaneously based on the two peak signals. This application utilizes a partially coherent beam and modulates it to not only achieve accurate rotational speed measurement of off-axis objects, but also simultaneously acquire the polarization information of the object. There is no need to add an additional polarization detection step, and the dual extraction of rotational speed and polarization can be completed in one go. Attached Figure Description

However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a remote velocities measurement method based on the partially coherent rotating Doppler effect provided in this application. The method specifically includes steps S10-S50: S10: Modulate the laser beam to generate Gaussian-Sherman mode partially coherent light, and modulate the Gaussian-Sherman mode partially coherent light into a circularly polarized state.

[0021] S30: Modulate elliptically polarized light using a rotating linear polarizer to generate a first periodic time-domain beam related to polarization information; use a three-hole post-modulation mask to filter the first periodic time-domain beam to obtain a second periodic time-domain beam related to rotational speed information.
[0022] S40: Perform a Fourier transform on the second-period time-domain beam to obtain the Fourier spectrum, and acquire two peak signals in the Fourier spectrum; take the peak signal whose horizontal coordinate is equal to twice the rotational speed of the linear polarizer as the polarization peak signal, and take the remaining peak signal as the rotational peak signal.
[0023] S50: The angular velocity of the rotating object under test is calculated based on the frequency of the rotation peak signal, and the polarization response of the rotating object under test is obtained based on the amplitude of the polarization peak signal and the amplitude of the rotation peak signal.
[0024] Specifically, the angular velocity of the rotating object under test is calculated based on the frequency of the rotation peak signal in step S50, including steps 1-1 to 1-3: Step 1-1: Substitute the cross-spectral density of the Gaussian-Sher modal coherent light, the transmittance function of the rotating object under test, and the pulse function of the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure into the cross-spectral density formula of the second periodic time-domain beam to obtain the light intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam on the receiving plane.
[0025] Specifically, the cross-spectral density of the Gaussian-Sherlock partial coherent light is expressed as: , in, This represents the cross-spectral density of partially coherent light in the Gaussian-Sherlock mode; , Represents the vector coordinates in the spatial domain of any two points in a Gaussian-Sherlock mode partially coherent beam; It is a constant; This represents the beam waist width of the Gaussian-Sherlock partial coherent light; It represents the coherence length of the Gaussian-Sher modal partially coherent light.
[0026] The transmittance function of the rotating object under test is expressed as: , in, The transmittance function represents the transmissivity of the rotating object being measured. ; Represents the Dirac function; This represents the position vector of the first hole on the rotating object being measured; This represents the position vector of the second hole on the rotating object being measured; This represents the position vector of the third hole on the rotating object being measured.
[0027] The pulse function of the post-modulation mask with a three-hole structure is expressed as: , in, The pulse function representing the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure; This represents the radius of each hole on the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure; Indicates the wavelength of light incident on the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure; Represents the equivalent focal length for far-field transmission; Represents the imaginary unit; Represents the first-order Bessel function; This represents the position vector of the first hole on the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure; This represents the position vector of the second hole on the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure; This represents the position vector of the third hole on the post-modulation mask of the three-hole structure.
[0028] Specifically, after the Gauss-Sher modal partially coherent light is reflected by the rotating object under test and then propagates in the far field, its correlation is distributed in a hexagonal lattice. After being filtered by a three-hole post-modulation mask, a periodic time-domain signal related to the rotational speed can be generated.
[0029] Specifically, the cross spectral density of the second periodic time-domain beam is expressed as: , in, This represents the cross spectral density of the second periodic time-domain beam; , This represents the vector coordinates of any two points in the second periodic time-domain beam in the far-field plane of the spatial domain; Indicates conjugate.
[0030] Furthermore, the intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam on the receiving plane is expressed as: , in, This represents the intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam on the receiving plane; ; , ; , .
[0031] Step 1-2: Using the enumeration method, obtain the angular period of the light intensity distribution in the receiving plane based on the light intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam in the receiving plane.
[0032] Specifically, based on the light intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam on the receiving plane... , , , The value of , Total The terms can be proven, through enumeration, to exhibit the following light intensity distribution in the receiving plane: The cycle.
[0033] Steps 1-3: Based on the product of the angular period of the light intensity distribution and the frequency of the rotation peak signal, the angular velocity of the rotating object under test is obtained.
[0034] Specifically, due to the distribution of light intensity in the receiving plane exhibiting The period represents the rotation of the rotating object under test. The light intensity will repeat once, meaning that the change in light intensity on the receiving plane will produce a specific frequency (i.e., the frequency corresponding to the first peak in the Fourier spectrum). Therefore, the angular velocity of the rotating object being measured... The calculation formula is: , in, This indicates the frequency of the rotating peak signal.
[0035] Furthermore, if we consider an off-axis rotating object, in the formula for the intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam on the receiving plane, we use... replace , replace ,in Representing the off-axis distance of the rotating object, after replacing the parameters, the formula for the intensity distribution of the second periodic time-domain beam on the receiving plane shows that... remain unchanged. Become , Become ,at this time, It can be viewed as a whole and represented as This is equivalent to shifting the position vectors in the entire receiving plane by a certain distance. Since the beam intensity distribution of each position vector in the receiving plane exhibits... The period of light intensity, i.e., the overall translation of the position, does not change the periodic pattern of light intensity. Therefore, the periodic frequency of light intensity change (the frequency of the rotating peak signal) does not change, and the off-axis distance of the object does not affect the angular velocity measurement results.
[0036] Further, in step S50, the polarization response of the rotating object under test is obtained based on the amplitude of the polarization peak signal and the amplitude of the rotation peak signal, including steps 2-1 to 2-5: Step 2-1: After modulating the Gaussian-Sherman mode partially coherent light into a circularly polarized state, obtain the Jones matrix of the Gaussian-Sherman mode partially coherent light in the modulated circularly polarized state.
[0037] Specifically, the Jones matrix of the partially coherent Gaussian-Sherlock mode light in the modulated circularly polarized state is expressed as: , in, The Jones matrix representing the Gaussian-Sherlock partial coherent light in the modulated circularly polarized state; This represents the electric field component perpendicular to the incident plane; This represents the electric field component parallel to the incident plane; It represents the imaginary unit.
[0038] Step 2-2: Based on the modulation characteristics of the polarization response of the rotating object under test to the electric field component in the Jones matrix when the object reflects the modulated Gaussian-Sherman mode partially coherent light, obtain the light intensity expression of the first periodic time-domain beam related to the polarization information.
[0039] Specifically, the intensity expression of the first periodic temporal beam related to polarization information is as follows: , in, The intensity of the first periodic time-domain beam, which is related to polarization information; The intensity of light is represented by the electric field component perpendicular to the incident plane. The intensity of light is represented by the electric field component parallel to the incident plane. This represents the rotational angular velocity of the rotating linear polarizer that modulates elliptically polarized light.
[0040] Steps 2-3: Based on the intensity expression of the first periodic time-domain beam related to polarization information, the amplitude of the polarization peak signal is proportional to the difference between the intensity of the electric field component perpendicular to the incident plane and the intensity of the electric field component parallel to the incident plane in the Jones matrix.
[0041] Steps 2-4: Based on the fact that the amplitude of the rotating peak signal is proportional to the intensity of the elliptically polarized light reflected by the rotating object under test, it is found that the amplitude of the rotating peak signal is proportional to the sum of the intensity of the electric field component perpendicular to the incident plane and the intensity of the electric field component parallel to the incident plane in the Jones matrix.
[0042] Steps 2-5: Based on the polarization response function of the rotating object under test, which is equal to the ratio of the difference and sum of the light intensity of the electric field component perpendicular to the incident plane and the electric field component parallel to the incident plane in the Jones matrix, the polarization response of the rotating object under test is obtained, which is equal to the ratio of the amplitude of the polarization peak signal to the amplitude of the rotation peak signal.
[0043] Specifically, the polarization response function of the rotating object under test is expressed as: .
[0044] It can be seen that, With polarization ellipticity It shows a negative correlation.
[0045] Specifically, the actual detected Fourier spectrum shows two peaks, one representing the polarization signal and the other representing the rotational speed signal, since the rotational speed of the rotating linear polarizer is... The abscissa of the polarization signal is locked at This can be distinguished from the rotational speed signal; the rotational speed of the rotating object under test can be calculated using the above rotational speed formula and the abscissa of the rotational peak signal, and then the polarization response can be obtained by taking the ratio of the ordinates of the two peak signals.
[0046] This application also provides a remote velocity measurement system based on the partially coherent rotating Doppler effect, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system specifically includes a laser 1, a beam expander 2, a first modulation module 3, a second modulation module 4, a rotating linear polarizer 5, a three-hole post-modulation module 6, a Fourier transform module 7, a photodetector 8, and a host computer 9.
[0047] Laser 1 is used to generate a laser beam.
[0048] Beam expander 2 is used to expand the laser beam.
[0049] The first modulation module 3 is used to modulate the expanded laser beam to generate Gaussian-Sherlock mode partially coherent light.
[0050] The second modulation module 4 is used to modulate the Gaussian-Sherman mode partially coherent light into a circularly polarized state and illuminate the rotating object 10 to be tested.
[0051] The rotating linear polarizer 5 is used to modulate the elliptically polarized light reflected from the rotating object 10 under test, generating a first periodic time-domain beam related to the polarization information.

[0056] Furthermore, the first modulation module 3 includes a first lens 31, a frosted glass 32, and a second lens 33 arranged sequentially along the optical path propagation direction; the second modulation module 4 includes a linear polarizer 41 and a quarter-glass plate 42 arranged sequentially along the optical path propagation direction; and the Fourier transform module 7 includes a third lens 71, an aperture 72, a fourth lens 73, and a fifth lens 74 arranged sequentially along the optical path propagation direction.
[0057] Specifically, the expanded laser source generates Gaussian-Sherlock partial coherent light through a modulation module with rotating frosted glass on the focal plane. This light is then modulated into a circularly polarized state by the modulation module. After reflection from a rotating object with a polarization response, the reflected light becomes elliptically polarized. This elliptically polarized light is then modulated to generate a polarization-related periodic time-domain signal. Simultaneously, due to the three-hole structure of the rotating object, its correlation distribution after far-field transmission is a hexagonal lattice distribution. After being filtered by a post-modulation mask with a three-hole structure, a periodic time-domain signal related to the rotational speed is generated. Two peaks can be observed in the Fourier spectrum obtained after performing a Fourier transform on the periodic time-domain signal: one for the polarization signal and the other for the rotational speed signal. The rotational speed of the rotating object is calculated by reading the abscissa of the rotational speed signal peak, and the polarization response of the rotating object is obtained by the ratio of the ordinates of the two signal peaks.

[0059] Since the rotational speed of the linear polarizer is 0.1 Hz, the abscissa of the polarization peak signal is fixed at 0.2 Hz, and the abscissa of the rotational peak signal is 3 Hz. Therefore, the rotational speed of the object under test can be calculated to be 0.5 Hz. The polarization response of the object under test can then be obtained based on the ratio of the amplitudes of the two peak signals. For example, Figure 3 In (a), (d), and (g), when the material of the rotating object to be tested is strontium titanate (SrTiO2). When the incident angles are 3°, 15°, and 30°, the ellipticity of the reflected light increases with the increase of the angle, and the peak value of the polarization signal at 0.2 Hz will increase. However, the peak value of the rotational speed signal at 3 Hz will decrease due to the decrease in the total intensity of reflected light. Therefore, the spectrum provides two independent observable values: the abscissa of the 3 Hz main peak provides information on the object's rotational speed, and the ratio of the 0.2 Hz peak value to the 3 Hz peak value yields the object's polarization response. Furthermore, if the incident angle of the beam is fixed, changing only the material of the rotating object reveals that a lower refractive index produces a higher polarization response. However, judging the polarization response solely based on the 0.2 Hz peak value may be erroneous because the 0.2 Hz peak value is also proportional to the total intensity of reflected light. For example, at a 30° incident angle, zinc oxide shows a higher 0.2 Hz peak value than aluminum oxide. However, due to the reduced reflectivity at a lower refractive index, the 3 Hz main peak value is lower. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the polarization response of the rotating object by obtaining the ratio of the amplitudes of the two peaks.
[0060] Embodiment 2 of this application utilizes the aforementioned remote velocimetry system based on the partially coherent rotating Doppler effect to simultaneously measure the rotational speed of an off-axis rotating object, such as... Figure 4 The figure shows the Fourier spectrum of a rotating object at different off-axis distances, where, Figure 4 (a) in the figure is the Fourier spectrum of the rotating object when it is 2 mm off-axis. Figure 4 (b) in the figure is the Fourier spectrum of the rotating object when it is 4 mm off-axis. Figure 4 (c) in the figure is the Fourier spectrum of the rotating object when it is 6 mm off-axis. Figure 4 (d) is the Fourier spectrum of the rotating object when it is 8 mm off the axis.
[0061] from Figure 4 As can be seen, when the off-axis distance of the rotating object is 6mm, the rotational speed of the rotating object can still be calculated using the abscissa of the main peak. Since the object in this embodiment consists of three small holes with a diameter of 1mm and a spacing of 2mm between adjacent holes, this off-axis distance is almost three times the size of the object, thus greatly reducing the requirements for optical path collimation in outdoor experiments. It should also be noted that the incident angle during the measurement process is 3°, and the rotating object is a strontium titanate reflective object.
