A method of expanding CW with frequency modulation laser interferometry range
Technical field:
The present invention relates to optics CW with frequency modulation interferometry technical fields, and in particular to a kind of expansion CW with frequency modulation is sharp The method of optical interferometry range.
Background technique:
Optics CW with frequency modulation (FMCW) interference is a new Technology of Precision Measurement.This optical interference techniques use one The laser light source of a periodically continued linear modulation of light frequency.When in interference device signal light and reference light meet when interfering, Generated interference signal is a dynamic beat signal, the light path of frequency and initial phase all between signal light and reference light Difference is related.When optical path difference is smaller, since beat frequency rate is lower, initial phase and its change direction, theory point possibly can not be identified Analysis points out that only beat frequency rate is greater than or equal to 2.5 times of laser modulation frequency, could normally identify initial phase.Frequency modulation connects There are two " dead zones " for continuous wave laser interference, corresponding when optical path difference is smaller to be known as " preceding dead zone ", when optical path difference is larger, beat frequency frequency Rate is higher, since the ADC sample frequency in digital signal processing circuit is that state is fixed constant, the signal number in each beat period It is necessarily reduced according to amount, seriously affecting measurement can not accurately, even measure, referred to as " rear dead zone ".The presence in dead zone, limits The measuring range of CW with frequency modulation laser interference.
Summary of the invention:
The present invention proposes a kind of method for expanding CW with frequency modulation laser interferometry range, to overcome the prior art to exist CW with frequency modulation laser interference the limited problem of measuring range.
In order to reach the purpose of the present invention, present invention provide the technical scheme that a kind of expansion CW with frequency modulation laser is dry The method for relating to measuring range, it is characterised in that: by measuring the beat frequency rate of current interference signal, the beat frequency rate is linear Modulation changes the laser frequency modulation degree of CW with frequency modulation laser light source, the beat frequency rate of interference signal is made to be in can have always In the frequency range for imitating phase demodulation, so as to initial phase and its variation of interference signal accurately be measured, to significantly expand CW with frequency modulation laser interferometry range.
When beat frequency rate≤3 × modulating frequency, increases laser drive signal according to 2/3 geometric progression and modulate straight line Slope updates linear modulated data table, until beat frequency rate > 3 × modulating frequency.
When beat frequency rate >=10 × modulating frequency, reducing interpolation straight slope according to 2/3 geometric progression is k, more new line Property modulation data table, until beat frequency rate < 10 × modulating frequency.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the advantages that
1, it is in the beat frequency rate of interference signal always in a suitable frequency range, So as to accurately measure initial phase and its variation of interference signal.
2, this method not only can reduce " preceding dead zone ", but also can eliminate " rear dead zone ", adjust to significantly expand Frequency continuous wave laser interferometry range.
3, this method is applicable not only to the interference of saw wave modulator CW with frequency modulation, and it is continuous to be also applied for triangular modulation frequency modulation Wave interference.
Detailed description of the invention:
Fig. 1 be semiconductor laser driving signal be sawtooth waveform when, the waveform of different value of K driving current.
Specific embodiment:
The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with drawings and examples.
According to optics CW with frequency modulation interference theory, if laser frequency is linear modulation (such as saw wave modulator or three The modulation of angle wave), for any dual beam optical CW with frequency modulation interference system, the luminous intensity I (τ, t) of interference signal can be indicated For
I (τ, t)=I0[1+Vcos(ατt+ω0τ)] (1)
Wherein, I0For the average luminous intensity (I of interference signal0=I1+I2, I1For reference light intensity, I2For signal light intensity), V is the contrast of interference signalω0For filters center angular frequency, τ is signal light relative to ginseng The delay time (τ=OPD/c, OPD are optical path difference of the signal light relative to reference light, and c is the light velocity) of light is examined, α is laser angle Frequency modulation rate (α=Δ ω/Tm, Δ ω is laser angular frequency modulation range, TmFor the modulated signal period).
Above formula indicates that linear frequency modulation continuous wave interference signal is a Dynamic Signal, beat frequency rate and initial phase all with Signal light is proportional relative to the delay time τ (or both between optical path difference) of reference light.But beat frequency rate and laser Device angular frequency modulation rate α is related, and initial phase and filters center angular frequency0It is related.This means that changing laser angle Frequency modulation rate α, thus it is possible to vary the beat frequency rate of interference signal, but not influence the measurement of initial phase (i.e. optical path difference).
Based on above-mentioned theory, a kind of method expanding CW with frequency modulation laser interferometry range provided by the invention is led to The beat frequency rate for measuring current interference signal is crossed, the beat frequency rate is linear modulation, changes CW with frequency modulation laser light source Laser frequency modulation degree, make the beat frequency rate of interference signal be in always can effectively phase demodulation frequency range in, so as to smart The initial phase of true measurement interference signal and its variation, to significantly expand CW with frequency modulation laser interferometry range.
When beat frequency rate≤3 × modulating frequency, increases laser drive signal according to 2/3 geometric progression and modulate straight line Slope updates linear modulated data table, until beat frequency rate > 3 × modulating frequency.
When beat frequency rate >=10 × modulating frequency, reducing interpolation straight slope according to 2/3 geometric progression is k, more new line Property modulation data table, until beat frequency rate < 10 × modulating frequency.
Described laser driving circuit and interferometer signal processing circuit is all using digital circuit, laser driving letter It number is to be obtained by microcomputer reads data form by DA circuit conversion, the laser frequency modulation degree and laser that laser issues The modulation degree of device driving signal is directly proportional;Data form is average value and linear modulated data two parts composition, linear modulation number It is obtained according to by the linear interpolation that a slope is k, interference signal is that electric signal is converted by photodetector using AD electricity The digital signal that road is converted to.
Embodiment: a method of expanding CW with frequency modulation laser interferometry range, includes the following steps:
Step 1: for digital semiconductor laser CW with frequency modulation interference modulations and demodulating system, laser driving letter It number is to be obtained by microcomputer reads data form using DA circuit conversion, data include average value and linear modulated data two Part, linear modulated data are obtained according to the linear interpolation that a slope is k.Interference signal is that light is believed by photodetector Number digital signal that is obtained using AD circuit conversion of transformation electric signal, by measuring interference signal waveform in each modulation period Minimum point (or maximum point) position on a timeline can calculate the beat frequency rate of interference signal.Referring to Fig. 1, originally The driving signal gone out given in embodiment is sawtooth waveform.
