Abstract

En 中文
In a self-mixing interferometer built around a laser diode, the signals at the outputs of the two mirrors are in phase opposition, whereas noise fluctuations are partially correlated. Thus, on making the difference between the two outputs, the useful signal is doubled in amplitude and the signal-to-noise ratio is even more enhanced. Through a second-quantization model, the improvement is theoretically predicted to be dependent on laser facets reflectivity. The results are then validated by experimental measurements with different laser types that show very good agreement with theoretical results. The new technique is applicable to a number of already existent self-mixing sensors, potentially improving significantly their measurement performances.
