Optical Heterodyne Detection

The detection by optical heterodyning of laser light scattered from solutions of macromolecules offers significant improvement in statistical accuracy over the more usual self-beating method. Nevertheless the heterodyne technique is not commonly used because of the supposed ifficulties associated with stable and efficient mixing of the scattered light with a local oscillator beam. We have carried out an experimental comparison of several methods of mixing the two beams, using very dilute solutions of polystyrene latex spheres as scatterers. Experimental data are also presented for the apparent particle radius as a function of the local oscillator level, and are compared with theoretical predictions.

Feedback Light

In this paper, we report a novel quasi-common-path laser feedback interferometer (QLFI) for highly stable, high-resolution and non-contact displacement measurement. QLFI measures the displacement of the target by measuring the phase of feedback light. In addition to the target-generated feedback light (frequency shifted by 2#), a reference mirror generates a reference feedback light which is frequency shifted by #. The phase variations of both feedback lights are measured by heterodyne detection simultaneously and their difference offers the phase variations caused only by target displacement. When the optical path lengths of the reference and measuring feedback light are nearly the same, the phase fluctuations caused by the environment and laser instability are effectively removed. The heat-induced deformation of a He-Ne laser tube is successfully in-line measured using QLFI.

Rotating Target

We performed a theoretical and experimental study of a 10.6 μm heterodyne detection system with nonlinear postdetection. A single laser serves as both transmitter and local oscillator; the intermediate frequency is given by the Doppler effect due to a rotating target. An electrooptic crystal modulates the amplitude of the laser beam at a frequency of 15 kHz; a synchronous voltmeter measures the return signal after the nonlinear element. Values of the signal-to-noise ratio with respect to incident optical power agree with the results of the theoretical model. In particular, experimentally measured target-induced frequency spreading effects on the signal-to-noise ratio correspond to the predictions of the model. We also describe an experimental system.
