A specific embodiment describes a forward and reverse tuning dispersion cancellation method based on laser frequency modulation continuous wave in detail;
the external cavity frequency modulation laser is set to a triangular wave tuning mode. And respectively tuning from 1552nm to 1542nm (corresponding to forward tuning), tuning from 1552nm to 1562nm (corresponding to backward tuning), setting the output power of the external cavity frequency modulation laser to 1.5mW, setting the tuning speed to 100nm/s, setting the first auxiliary optical path to 220m, and placing the target on the air-floating optical platform. The first detector collects a measurement signal formed between the returned target and the local oscillator light, the second detector collects a beat frequency interference signal of the first auxiliary optical path, the beat frequency interference signal is used as a sampling clock to carry out beat frequency nonlinear correction on the measurement signal, the measurement signal after nonlinear correction is subjected to frequency spectrum transformation, and a frequency domain diagram is shown in fig. 3.

Where the optical path length of the fiber exit end face is 4.524271m and the spectral peak formed by the target is shown in fig. 3, where the distance between the target and the fiber exit end face is the fraction in free space. And taking the emergent end face of the optical fiber as a measurement starting point, the target distance is mainly the free space part distance.
In order to study the dispersion mismatch effect of the measuring device, a measured signal formed by forward and backward tuning of an external cavity tuning laser is divided into five segments of sub-signals, then chirp transformation is performed on each segment of sub-signal, and a corresponding distance is calculated, and the result is shown in fig. 4. It can be seen that in the case of forward tuning, the range value of the target increases linearly with increasing tuning range. In the case of back-tuning, the range value decreases linearly as the tuning range increases. This is due to dispersion mismatch, and as the tuning range increases, the target spectral peak shifts.
And extracting the phase of the measured signal under the forward and backward tuning conditions by using Hilbert transform, and then expanding the phase of the measured signal and performing linear fitting. As can be seen from fig. 5, the residual phase is a curve with an upward opening in the case of forward tuning, indicating that the beat frequency is not a constant value, but varies with the tuning range. In the back-tuning case, the residual phase after linear fitting to the measured signal phase is shown in fig. 6, and it can be seen that the residual phase is an open-down curve. The phase after the forward and backward tuned dispersion cancellation is shown in fig. 7, and the result shows that the residual phase fluctuates around zero, which indicates that the dispersion effect of the measurement system is cancelled.
And extracting the whole measurement signal after dispersion cancellation by using ChirpZ transformation. The distance distribution of the target peak before and after dispersion cancellation is shown in fig. 8, and it can be seen that there is a certain degree of distortion in the forward or reverse tuned target peak, which is caused by system dispersion, and the target peak after dispersion cancellation has less distortion. The method has the advantage that no estimation of the dispersion coefficient is required, nor is iterative compensation required. The measurement is completed by single compensation, and the dispersion compensation efficiency is improved.
