Abstract
The invention discloses a method for synchronously measuring a non-orthogonal polarization angle and an elliptic polarization angle of a dual-frequency laser, which belongs to the technical field of laser application. The method comprises the following steps of: forming the dual-frequency laser to be measured into optical beat frequency by using a polarizer, converting the optical beat frequency into an alternating current signal by using a photoelectric detecting circuit, and measuring an amplitude value of the alternating current signal by using an effective value converting circuit and an AD acquisition circuit; and rotating the polarizer, and solving the non-orthogonal polarization angle and the elliptic polarization angle of the dual-frequency laser to be measured at the same time by measuring a maximum value and a minimum value of the amplitude of the beat frequency. In the method, on the basis of a perfect theoretical model, the characteristics of non-orthogonal polarization and elliptical polarization of the dual-frequency laser are considered synthetically, so the measurement on the non-orthogonal polarization and the elliptical polarization are finished synchronously without theoretical measurement error; and an azimuth angle of a transmission axis of the polarizer does not need to be measured technically, so that the measurement error caused by angle measurement is avoided and high-precision measurement is more easily to realize.
Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to nonopiateization of the polarization angle and the polarization ellipse angle method for synchronously measuring in laser application technique field, particularly a kind of double-frequency laser.
Background technology
Dual-frequency laser source is the core component units of ultraprecise laser heterodyne interference measuring system, and its output laser comprises the light component of two different frequencies and polarization state, and the polarization characteristic of double-frequency laser is one of important parameter that characterizes the light source quality good or not.Imperfectization of double-frequency laser polarization characteristic comprises nonopiateization of polarization and polarization ellipseization, they are main sources of nonlinearity erron in the laser heterodyne interference measuring system, the measuring error of its introducing can reach several to tens of several nanometers, is seriously restricting the resolving power of measuring system.In order to realize the measurement resolution of nanometer scale, need as nonopiateization of polarization angle and polarization ellipse angle, carry out strict measurement to the polarization characteristic parameter of dual-frequency laser source.
The stokes parameter representation is to describe comprehensive, the most general method of light beam polarization state, by measure whole polarization characteristic parameters that stokes parameter can obtain tested light beam (Feng Weiwei. the stokes parameter of light polarization and degree of polarization intelligent measuring. the master of Qufu Normal University thesis), present business-like fall-off meter all is to be based upon on the light beam stokes parameter representation.Yet, this method is only applicable to monochromatic plane wave, be not suitable for the light beam situation of a plurality of wavelength and polarization state aliasing, the dual-frequency laser source in the laser heterodyne interference measuring system for example, when its output double-frequency laser departs from desirable linear polarization quadrature situation, technical can't be effectively the light component of two different frequencies the separation fully, thus also can't measure the polarization state of each frequency component independently.
Shanghai Optics and Precision Mechanics institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences executes will and really waits the people to detect nonopiateization of double-frequency zeeman laser device outgoing polarisation of light angle (Shi Zhiguo by the following method, vertical zeeman frequency stabilization research of Gong Jin duckweed .Uniphase 1007 type He-Ne laser tubes. the optics journal, 1993,13 (2): 102-106): double-frequency laser is formed optical beat after by polaroid, its amplitude V (θ) changes with the change of polaroid azimuth angle theta, measures two adjacent minimal value V of V (θ)

Min(θ).Yet, this method has following deficiency: one, this method only is only during for strict linearly polarized light correct at the light component of two different frequencies of double-frequency laser, perhaps only when the ovalization degree of the light component of two different frequencies is very little, just can obtain satisfactory approximation; Its two, this method need be known the azimuthal concrete numerical value of polarization of beat frequency amplitude minimal value correspondence, and the measuring accuracy of this angle value can be introduced measuring error to the calculating at nonopiateization of polarization angle; Its three, though this method has defined the polarization separation degree of tested double-frequency laser, do not provide the measurement approach of polarization ellipse angle.
People such as the Gao Sai of Tsing-Hua University are on the basis that the beat frequency amplitude detects, the measurement model and the measurement means (Gao Sai at nonopiateization of the polarization angle and the polarization ellipse angle of double-frequency laser have been set up, Yin Chunyong, Guo Jihua. the experimental study of double reflecting film two-frequency He-Ne laser instrument dual frequency characteristics and polarization characteristic. optical technology, 2006,26 (6): 529-531).Aspect measurement model, this method has carried out nonopiateization of polarization and the polarization ellipse characteristic of double-frequency laser to consider that independently promptly under the situation of not considering polarization ellipseization nonopiateization of polarization angle is measured, vice versa; Aspect measurement means, the metering system at nonopiateization of polarization angle is with above to execute the approach that will really waits the people to take similar in this method, and the polarization ellipse angle is then by formula ρ=tg

MaxBe the minimal value and the maximum value of beat frequency amplitude.Yet, this method has the deficiency of two aspects: on the one hand, the consideration that this method has been carried out nonopiateization of polarization of double-frequency laser and polarization ellipse characteristic independently, separated artificially, but these two kinds of imperfectization of polarization characteristics are simultaneous often in practical situation, therefore this method is short of on measurement model to some extent, and also can only the accurate approximate value of right and wrong, the particularly measurement at polarization ellipse angle can have bigger error based on the result of calculation that the imperfection model draws; On the other hand, this method still needs to measure the position angle of the pairing analyzer light transmission shaft of beat frequency extreme point technically, thus the measuring error that can't avoid measurement of angle to introduce.
In sum, based on the light polarization method for expressing of stokes parameter and corresponding measuring method thereof and be not suitable for dual-frequency laser source, and that existing imperfectization of the double-frequency laser polarization characteristic measuring method that detects based on the beat frequency amplitude remains on theoretical model is further perfect, also comes with some shortcomings technically.
