The invention belongs to the technical field of phase
delay, and particularly discloses a
laser phase
encoder for coherent detection and imaging, which comprises a phase delayer, the phase delayer comprises a first reflecting mirror and a second reflecting mirror, the first reflecting mirror and the second reflecting mirror are oppositely arranged to form a phase
delay cavity, and the first reflecting mirror and the second reflecting mirror are arranged in parallel. Light input into the phase delayer is propagated in the phase
delay cavity, the second reflector is provided with a fused biconical taper, the output end of the phase delayer is connected with a Bragg
grating, at least two
optical fiber rings are carved in the Bragg
grating, the fused biconical taper is coupled with the two
optical fiber rings, and the two
optical fiber rings correspond to an input port and an output port of the Bragg
grating respectively. When the optical paths of the sample light and the reference light are equal, an
interference phenomenon can occur; the sample light is long in transmission distance and is in a changing state, and the phase delayer is used for the reference light to form
phase coding so as to match all paths of the sample light. Wherein one of the two paths of input light is subjected to phase delay through a phase delayer, so that the
optical path difference caused by the
irradiation of the detection light to an object is matched, and an interference phase expansion condition is achieved.
