技术领域technical field

本发明涉及量子精密测量领域,尤其涉及一种用于时变随机相位信号测量的自适应光纤型马赫曾德干涉仪。The invention relates to the field of quantum precision measurement, in particular to an adaptive optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer for measuring time-varying random phase signals.

背景技术Background technique

量子精密测量是当今物理学和光学领域的重要研究方向。迄今为止,光学频率和相位测量是所有物理量中测量精度最高的测量技术之一。在精密测量领域,对于很多物理量的测量都归结为对相位的测量,因而干涉仪成为精密测量中最为常见的实验装置,在基础科学研究以及实际工程应用中都发挥着至关重要的作用。比如,引力波的测量正是利用光学迈克尔逊干涉仪原理,从而对广义相对论中时空变化引起光学相位进行精密测量。此外利用激光干涉原理,可以精密测量折射率,长度等物理量,并且利用激光的相干特性,使得测量精度达到很高。Quantum precision measurement is an important research direction in the field of physics and optics today. To date, optical frequency and phase measurement is one of the measurement techniques with the highest measurement accuracy of all physical quantities. In the field of precision measurement, the measurement of many physical quantities is attributed to the measurement of the phase, so the interferometer has become the most common experimental device in precision measurement, and plays a vital role in basic scientific research and practical engineering applications. For example, the measurement of gravitational waves uses the principle of the optical Michelson interferometer to precisely measure the optical phase caused by space-time changes in general relativity. In addition, using the principle of laser interference, physical quantities such as refractive index and length can be precisely measured, and the coherent characteristics of the laser can be used to make the measurement accuracy very high.

目前量子精密测量的精度越来越高,可测量的物理量颇为广泛,然而这类精密测量仍然存在两个问题:1.量子测量主要基于自由空间体系,而未来信息化快速发展要求小型化实用化的光学系统;2.量子精密测量主要集中在固定信号的测量,而对随机信号、实时信号的跟踪研究较少,而后者的研究在实际应用体系中十分重要。At present, the precision of quantum precision measurement is getting higher and higher, and the measurable physical quantities are quite wide. However, there are still two problems in this type of precision measurement: 1. Quantum measurement is mainly based on the free space system, and the rapid development of information technology in the future requires miniaturization and practicality. 2. Quantum precision measurement mainly focuses on the measurement of fixed signals, while the tracking of random signals and real-time signals is less researched, and the latter research is very important in practical application systems.
