Description

Difference method and device for judging resonance state of F-P cavity
Technical Field
The invention relates to a difference method and a difference device for judging a resonance state of an F-P cavity, and belongs to the field of geometric precision measurement.
Background
The F-P cavity-based resonance frequency selection technology is widely applied to the fields of laser generation, optical wave narrow-band filtering, displacement measurement by a time method and the like.
F-P cavity resonance frequency selection works according to the standing wave principle. After the input wave enters the F-P resonant cavity, the input wave is reflected back and forth, superposed and interfered between two reflecting surfaces of the resonant cavity; the output wave energy of the F-P cavity changes with the input wave frequency. When the difference between the input wave frequency and the resonant frequency of the F-P resonant cavity is large, the output wave energy is very small; as the frequency of the input wave approaches the resonant frequency of the F-P resonant cavity, the energy of the output wave has a violent rising process; when the frequency of the input wave is consistent with the resonant frequency of the F-P resonant cavity, the energy of the output wave of the resonant cavity reaches a maximum value. The process that the output wave energy changes along with the change of the input wave frequency or the length of the F-P resonant cavity is the frequency selection function of the F-P resonant cavity.
In a measuring system, the frequency selection function of an F-P resonant cavity is often utilized to realize the measurement of the frequency of an output wave or the measurement of the length of the resonant cavity.
The F-P cavity is characterized by a resonant state in which the energy of the output wave is at a maximum. How to judge the maximum value of the output wave energy on an electronic control system is the key for measuring by using an F-P resonant cavity.
The existing mature F-P resonance state judgment method is a disturbance modulation method. The method has the advantages that the micro-disturbance is applied to the F-P cavity length or the input wave frequency, the phase change of the disturbance response waveform is utilized for demodulation, the effect is equivalent to that the derivative of an output wave energy curve along with the cavity length or the input wave frequency is obtained, and the extreme point of the curve is converted into the zero crossing point of the derivative. Near the maximum value point, the derivative of the curve is a monotonic zero-crossing function, so that the measurement system can conveniently make state judgment, and the control system can also establish a linear control model. The method for judging the resonance state of the F-P cavity by the disturbance modulation method has the advantages that a mathematical model is clear, and a real extreme point can be obtained; the disadvantages are that the structure is complex, extra modulation and demodulation systems are needed, interference signals in the system are artificially increased, and the response speed is influenced by the modulation frequency.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated with reference to the following figures and examples.
Example 1
A slight cavity length change (slight displacement) of the F-P cavity corresponds to a change in its resonant frequency. By utilizing the sharp frequency selection characteristic of the F-P resonant cavity and locking the frequency of an external laser light source on the resonant frequency of the F-P resonant cavity through a closed-loop frequency locking control system, the micro displacement change can be converted into the change of the laser frequency, the micro displacement measurement is realized by a time (frequency) method, and thus higher displacement resolution is obtained, and the method is a typical scheme for realizing picometer displacement measurement. The key link of the process is a closed-loop frequency locking control system, how to establish a control model and realize automatic tracking frequency locking are the main difficulties of the system.
As shown in fig. 1, the difference device for determining the resonant state of the F-P cavity disclosed in this embodiment is composed of a beam splitter prism 1, a reflective mirror 2, an acousto-optic modulator 3, an F-P resonant cavity 4, a first photoelectric receiver 5, and a second photoelectric receiver 6.
The light source adopts a NewFocus 6800 tunable laser, the wavelength adjusting range is 632.5nm-640nm, and the mode-hopping-free adjusting amplitude is 120 GHz; the beam splitter prism 1 adopts a depolarization beam splitter prism with the transmission inverse ratio of 1: 1; the reflector 2 adopts a dielectric reflector; the acousto-optic modulator 3 adopts an XX acousto-optic modulator produced by Chengdu photoelectricity, and the working frequency is 10MHz-60 MHz; the F-P resonant cavity 4 adopts a double-plane mirror structure, the length of the resonant cavity is 110mm, and the half-gain bandwidth is about 20 MHz; the first photoelectric receiver 5 and the second photoelectric receiver 6 adopt 3DU5C phototriodes.
The working method of the differential device for determining the resonant state of the F-P cavity disclosed by the embodiment comprises the following steps:
and adjusting the relative positions of the laser light source, the beam splitter prism 1 and the F-P resonant cavity 4 to enable the transmission light of the beam splitter prism to enter the F-P resonant cavity 4.
The acousto-optic modulator 3 works at 10MHz, and the installation positions and angles of the reflector 2 and the acousto-optic modulator 3 are adjusted to ensure that 1-order diffraction light of the acousto-optic modulator is emitted into the F-P resonant cavity 4.
The laser frequency of the tunable laser is adjusted, and the oscilloscope can observe that the first photoelectric receiver 5 and the second photoelectric receiver 6 have obvious peak signals near the resonant frequency and have phase difference along with the change of the relative relation between the laser frequency and the resonant frequency of the F-P resonant cavity 4.
The light intensity difference signal is used as an error signal of a closed-loop frequency locking control system, so that the locking of the laser frequency and the resonant frequency of the F-P cavity is realized. The frequency locking stability can reach 50kHz, and the tracking response speed is 1 ms.
The traditional disturbance modulation method has the advantages that due to artificial disturbance and the limitation of modulation frequency, the frequency locking stability is usually 100kHz, and the tracking response speed is lower than 10 ms. Therefore, the scheme is superior to the traditional disturbance modulation scheme in the aspects of frequency locking stability and tracking response speed.
