Abstract: | We demonstrate an ultra-high-speed phase-sensitive time-wavelength-domain optical coherence reflectometer with a stretched pulse supercontinuum source. A pulsed fiber laser operating at 10 MHz repetition rate was used to generate a pulsed supercontinuum of 30 ps pulse duration by using a nonlinear optical fiber. The supercontinuum pulses are stretched into 70 ns pulses with a highly dispersive fiber. With this stretched pulse source, we have built a phase-sensitive optical coherence reflectometer that measures the spectral interferogram of reflected light. By using the linear relation between the wavelength and the temporal position in a linearly chirped pulse, ultra-high-speed spectrum measurement can be obtained with this method in the time domain. We have demonstrated ultra-high-speed two-dimensional surface profiling for a standard image target and high-speed single-point monitoring for a fixed point under vibrational motion. It is shown that the measurement speed for the position of a single point can be as fast as 2.5 MHz, while the position accuracy can be better than 4.49 nm. |
