In order to improve the displacement measurement accuracy of the laser diode self-mixing
interference (SMI), phase measurement method is introduced in the SMI signal analysis. In this paper,
three modulation technique have been proposed: injection current modulation, external cavity length
modulation and sinusoidal phase modulation. Measurement principle of the three modulation
techinque are briefly explained. Design of the experimental system, measurement results of
micro-displacement will be reported.
