Abstract
En 中文
The reference interferometer scheme is an effective noise reduction method, but the optical path length difference (OPD) of the two interferometers must be strictly equal, which limits its application in practical environments. In this paper, an improved reference interferometer demodulation technique without strictly equal OPDs is proposed to suppress phase noise. By introducing a reference interferometer, the phase noise can be removed from the demodulation results. The combination of the differential self-multiplication algorithm and the fitted phase modulation depth calculation formula can evaluate the phase modulation depth of both interferometers in real time and simultaneously eliminate the nonlinear distortion caused by phase modulation depth drift and the effect of different OPDs on the reference interferometer scheme. The experimental results show that the technique can obtain highly stable and accurate demodulation results even if the OPDs of the two reference interferometers are different. The phase modulation depth calculation error is less than 0.57%, the maximum phase noise reduction is 15 dB, the average reduction is 9 dB, the minimum total harmonic distortion is 0.17%, and the SINAD reaches 35.90 dB.
