Laser diode feedback interferometer for stabilization and displacement measurements

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Active laser diode interferometers in which the interference signal is fed back to the diode current are investigated for Twyman-Green and self-coupling interferometers. The Twyman-Green interferometer is stabilized with a stabilization factor of more than 100. By using the feedback signal of either type of interferometer, displacement is measured in a linear scale over a dynamic range of 8–9 μm with a precision of 10–60 nm. The feedback signal vs displacement shows hysteresis and multistable behavior, in accordance with theoretical results.
