弹光调制器延迟量幅值分布测量

Measurement of delay amplitude distribution of elastic light modulator

  • 摘要: 为了获得弹光调制器延迟量幅值在整个通光孔径上的分布,进行了其延迟量分布规律理论和仿真分析,并在此基础上搭建了实验测量系统进行了验证实验。测量系统首先通过带有偏振器件的光路生成调制信号,其次通过数字锁相器将接收到的信号与本地参考信号进行精确的频率和相位匹配,从而实现信号的解调,最后将解调后的信号传输到上位机,以计算出相关的相位延迟量参数;同时使用精密二维位移平台来实现弹光调制器全孔径的移动,进而实现对所有位置进行测量。实验最后,上位机把每个坐标下的相位延迟参数保存下来,将数据导入到绘图软件中,从而实现相位延迟量的直观可视化,并且使用仿真软件进行理论仿真对比。将实验结果与理论值进行对比,测量误差为0.13%,并且得到了弹光调制器延迟量在整个通光孔径上的二维分布,且其分布规律与理论和仿真结果吻合;同时给出了弹光调制器整个通光孔径上的精确定标方法,为大通光孔径、高精度偏振调制以及探测提供了参考。

     

    Abstract: In order to obtain the distribution of delay amplitude of the elastic modulator across the entire aperture, the theoretical and simulation analysis of its delay distribution law was conducted, and on this basis, an experimental measurement system was built for verification experiments. The measurement system generated modulation signals through an optical path with polarization devices, and then used a digital phase-locked device to accurately match the received signal with the local reference signal in terms of frequency and phase, thereby achieving signal demodulation. Finally, the demodulated signal was transmitted to the upper computer to calculate the relevant phase delay parameters. Simultaneously, a precise two-dimensional displacement platform was used to achieve full aperture movement of the elastic optical modulator, thereby enabling measurement of all positions. At the end of the experiment, the upper computer saved the phase delay parameters at each coordinate and imported the data into the drawing software to achieve intuitive visualization of the phase delay amount, and the simulation software was used for theoretical simulation comparison. According to the comparison between experimental results and theoretical values, the relative error of the measurement was 0.13%, and the two-dimensional distribution of the delay of the elastic light modulator across the entire optical aperture was obtained, which was consistent with theory and simulation. A precise calibration method for the entire aperture of the elastic light modulator was presented, which provided references for large aperture, high-precision polarization modulation, and detection.
