Multiple‐beam Fizeau fringe‐pattern analysis using Fourier transform method for accurate measurement of fiber refractive index profile of polymer fiber

In this article the Fourier transform method is applied to analyze multiple‐beam interference Fizeau fringes. The real part of the inverse Fourier transform is used to estimate a theoretical pattern. This pattern coincides with the experimental one. A derivative‐sign binary image of the interference pattern is also used in automated determination of the contour line of the fringe pattern, regardless of the quality of this pattern. A correlation between the pixel size and the accuracy of the measured fiber refractive index is presented. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 475–484, 2002

车载直接探测多普勒测风激光雷达光学鉴频器

基于建立的车载直接探测激光雷达系统,对接收光学鉴频器进行了研究。针对边界层、对流层和平流层不同的气溶胶和大气分子浓度以及风速动态范围,同时采用直接探测的两种主要技术。利用多光束菲索(Fizeau)干涉仪(MFI)和阵列光电倍增管(PMT),接收气溶胶散射信号,获得边界层风速。采用双法布里-珀罗(Fabry-Perot)干涉仪(DFP)和光电倍增管探测器,分析分子散射信号,得到对流层风场。使用实际的激光雷达系统参数和大气模型参数,对两个鉴频器进行了优化设计,分析了它们的风速测量灵敏度和精度。多光束菲索干涉仪鉴频器系统在±50 m/s风速范围内测量灵敏度为1.3%/(m.s-1),高度分辨率为200 m,边界层内风速测量误差小于1 m/s。双法布里-珀罗干涉仪鉴频器系统在±100 m/s风速范围内的测量灵敏度约为0.3%/(m.s-1),高度分辨率为1000 m,对流层风速测量误差小于3 m/s。

毛玻璃转速对干涉条纹成像质量的影响

针对大平面菲索干涉图像的相干噪声问题,采用旋转毛玻璃片的方法改变光束的相干性,来降低干涉系统的噪声。通过对毛玻璃的转速与条纹对比度和系统信噪比之间的关系进行仿真,获得最佳干涉条纹状态所需要的毛玻璃控制参数。在不同控制参数下获取干涉图像,并分别对各图像的条纹对比度和系统信噪比进行分析。研究结果表明,增加的毛玻璃转速,虽然在一定程度上降低了干涉图像的对比度,但却有效地提高了信噪比,便于后续的干涉图像处理。

     

Spatial-frequency multiplexed fiber-optic Fizeau strain sensor system with optical amplification

A novel method for multiplexing fiber-optic Fizeau strain sensors with optical amplification is proposed and demonstrated. This method overcomes the two intrinsic disadvantages of fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (F–P) strain sensors, i.e. weak signal and difficult multiplexing. The amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and optical amplification are used simultaneously to enhance the interferometric signal considerably. A Fizeau interferometer formed by two fiber ends with a quite different reflectivity is used to replace the F–P cavity in sensor head design. Such a Fizeau cavity can enlarge the cavity length by at least an order of magnitude and allows more than 10 sensors to be multiplexed simultaneously by using spatial-frequency multiplexing. The operating principle of the sensor system is discussed and an experiment is carried out to verify the concept of the method proposed. It is anticipated that such a sensor system could find important applications for health monitoring of large structures.     

Interferometric determination of the optical properties of fibres with irregular transverse sections (Ramie)

The thickness of fibres and their irregularity were determined from the forward scattering of a He-Ne laser beam. Two methods have been used for the measurement of refractive indices and birefringence of Ramie fibres. The first of these methods is the application of multiple-beam Fizeau fringes in transmission and at reflection. The second is the use of the double refracting interference microscope designed and developed by Pluta. In each method, refractive index values have been determined using two different analyses of the interference pattern. To overcome the difficulty of the irregular transverse section of Ramie fibres, the area enclosed under the fringe shift is considered as representing the path difference integrated across the fibre.

高精度曲率半径测量研究

由于影响曲率半径测量精度的因素众多,因此高精度曲率半径测量一直是光学检测中的难题之一。为了实现球面光学元件曲率半径的高精度测量,提出通过环境补偿和提高对准精度的方法来减小测量误差。首先从理论的角度分析了影响曲率半径检测精度的主要因素,并给出了在曲率半径测量过程中减小测量误差的方法以及相应的补偿方式。基于此分析,在高精度实验室中采用菲佐干涉仪结合高精度测长干涉仪的干涉测量方式,分别对典型的凸球面和凹球面光学元件进行了曲率半径检测。实验结果表明:通过环境补偿和提高对准精度的方法,曲率半径检测的复现性优于0.2μm,实际测得的相对误差分别为0.67×10~(-6)(2σ)和0.60×10~(-6)(2σ),实现了高精度曲率半径测量。
