Instance:
As shown in Figure 1; The scale light source adopts narrow line source, and an instance is to select wavelength 1310nm, the DFB of bandwidth 10MHz (Distributed Feed Back) laser instrument; Other narrow line sources that meet the requirements (coherence length is greater than delay line change in optical path length amount) all can be selected; The scale light source is divided into two-way optical fiber through single-mode fiber and 2 * 2 fiber coupler H1, and one the tunnel is scale light source source reference arm, and light beam is through Polarization Controller P 1Adjust the laggard optics collimator Z of going into of polarization state 1, become vertical directive plane mirror F behind the collimated light 1, through plane mirror F 1Former road, reflection back is returned, through 2 * 2 fiber coupler H 1After, getting into photoelectric sensor, the signal condition unit is delivered to data processing unit after to the interference light signal filter amplifying processing and is handled and display waveform;
Another road sign chi light source source sample arm, light beam is through Polarization Controller H 1The adjustment polarization state is laggard goes into wavelength division multiplexer.Simultaneously; The flashlight of signal optical source, SLED (Super luminescent LED) wideband light source (centre wavelength 830nm, half high bandwidth 20 ~ 40nm) that instance is wavelength 830nm; Can certainly use other satisfactory wideband light sources, the flashlight light source is through 3 * 3 bonder H 2Being divided into three the tunnel, the one tunnel is flashlight reference arm and above-mentioned scale light source process wavelength division multiplexer and collimator Z 2After directive optical delay line together; Shine by the circumference uniform distribution horizontal behind the optical signal entering optical delay line and be installed on the horizontal hollow corner cube prism on the rotating disk; Penetrate behind 180 ° of the horizontal hollow corner cube prism direct light signals; The optical signal that penetrates shines by circumference uniform distribution and is vertically mounted on vertical the putting on the hollow corner cube prism on the rotating disk; Hang down and to penetrate back horizontal hollow corner cube prism after putting 180 ° of hollow corner cube prism direct light signals, shine reflecting mirror F behind the optical signal line focus lens of horizontal hollow corner cube prism ejaculation 2, optical signal is through reflecting mirror F 2Reflection tailing edge former road is returned, and interferes at the photoelectric sensor place with the optical signal of scale light source sample arm; Said rotating disk is by the coaxial driven by motor rotation that is installed in the rotating disk below.Described horizontal hollow corner cube prism is put the hollow corner cube prism and all is fixed on the rotating disk with hanging down, and rotates towards a direction with rotating disk.After putting the reflection of hollow corner cube prism through hanging down like this, parallel beam is oppositely penetrated and is got back to horizontal hollow corner cube prism, is not limited to the hollow corner cube prism certainly here, and other optics that similarly can realize this function can.According to reflection of light and hollow corner cube prism characteristic; Though dial rotation; But the light beam of directive condenser lens does not move, and passes through the once more focusing shaping of condenser lens to light beam, thereby can improve the signal to noise ratio of the light echo efficient lifting whole system of delay line.
Described scale light source is that narrow line source and flashlight wideband light source use same optical delay line, and the Doppler frequency deviation of two light sources is than the strict inverse ratio that equals two light source center wavelength.The interference waveform signal to noise ratio of the narrow line source of scale light source is fixed, and can accurately obtain Doppler frequency deviation from the interference waveform of scale light source reference arm and sample arm (optical delay line), shown in Fig. 4 (a).The waveform of frequency deviation after through data processing unit acquired signal conditioning cell processing calculates, and the interference signal of signal optical source arm at zero point and reference arm can be by adjusting plane mirror F 2Longitudinal separation obtain, shown in Fig. 4 (b), the waveform of the frequency deviation of signal optical source after through data processing unit acquired signal conditioning cell processing calculates, thereby can draw the multiplier parameter of two-way light source.Can accurately obtain the carrier wave of flashlight wideband light source through multiplier parameter, thereby the interference signal of flashlight is carried out the quadrature demodulation demodulation.Optical delay line has the velocity variations greater than 10% in rotary course, bring thus to surpass 10% Doppler frequency deviation variation.If directly measuring-signal is carried out amplitude demodulation, required bandwidth is greater than the quadrature demodulation demodulation scheme that uses frequency conversion to follow the tracks of.Such as the Doppler frequency deviation central value of 830nm signal optical source at 2MHz; Then frequency deviation region is that 1.9MHz is to 2.1MHz; And the frequency of modulated signals is less than 40KHz, uses the bandwidth of amplitude demodulation scheme LPF can not be less than 250KHz, otherwise can cause signal to noise ratio to lose.And the quadrature demodulation demodulation scheme that uses frequency conversion to follow the tracks of, the LPF after the demodulation can be less than 40KHz, because noise bandwidth reduces, the noise specific energy improves 6~8dB.
