Modulation-enhanced sensitivity of holographic interferometry

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A modulation–demodulation scheme substantially enhances diffusion-dominated–adaptive-interferometric sensitivity. The path length sensitivity is improved by converting a quadratic small-signal response, easily drowned in system noise, to a linear response by mixing with a strong phase modulation. This conversion also shifts low-frequency signals away from 1/f noise. Experimental results show 180fm/Hz displacement sensitivity for a 5  Hz signal with a few milliwatts of optical power, an improvement of 3 orders of magnitude over the unenhanced system.
