Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of signal modulation, and specifically relates to a method for calibrating the peak delay amount of a photoelastic modulator. The technical scheme that the method adopts is as follows: the photoelastic modulator is placed between two polarizers; incident light passes through a polarizer, the photoelastic modulator and an analyzer in sequence, and is then measured by a detector; the peak delay amount of the photoelastic modulator is set, and the detector obtains a waveform; and the waveform is output as a digital signal, and software is adopted to perform fitting on the waveform, thereby obtaining an actual value (i.e., a fitted value) of the peak delay amount. A set value required to obtain any peak delay amount is calculated based on a relation between a set value and an actual value of the peak delay amount. The method provided by the invention can calibrate any peak delay amount of the photoelastic modulator, and is mainly used for signal modulation technology and error correction.
