Homodyne interferometry with quadrature fringe detection for absolute gravimeter

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An absolute gravimeter is based on interferometric displacement measurement during repeated free falls of a target mirror in a high vacuum. A suitable homodyne quadrature laser interferometer is developed and reported. Standard deviation of the mean absolute gravity value in a typical two-day measurement session is less than 1×108m/s2. Additionally, digital demodulation of the interference signal using a 90° phase-shift filter based on the Hilbert transform is presented. A combination of optical and digital quadrature phase shifts is shown to be helpful to improve accuracy in homodyne interferometers with the accelerated target mirror.
