Photoelectric receiver time stability test method based on acousto-optical amplitude modulation

Abstract

The invention belongs to a laser application technology, and relates to a photoelectric receiver time stability test method based on acousto-optical amplitude modulation. The method includes using a single-frequency laser as a light source, outputting an amplitude-adjustable double-frequency laser after the single-frequency laser passes an acousto-optical modulator, utilizing a non-polarized beam splitting prism for beam splitting, and testing phase difference between a to-be-tested photoelectric receiver and a reference photoelectric receiver. The method has the advantages that in testing, linearly polarized light with the frequencies of v1 and v2 in a reference light beam is transmitted in a coaxial identical-optical-path mode, and linearly polarized light with the frequencies of v1 and v2 in a measurement light beam is transmitted in a coaxial identical-optical-path mode; phases of the two light beams are unaffected by external environmental changes, extra phase errors are not introduced, and test accuracy is high; time stability of photoelectric receivers in different light intensities can be tested by means of adjusting light intensity of the double-frequency laser.

However, this document only theoretically analyzes the noise characteristics and data of photodetectors, and does not actually analyze the errors introduced in the electrical signal processing circuit and their impact on stability

[0005] To sum up, the current noise analysis and stability analysis of the photoelectric receiver are only realized through theory and simulation, and the time stability of the photoelectric receiver is not actually tested, so that the stability of the photoelectric receiver Calibration only stays at the stage of theoretical analysis, and it is not accurate; moreover, the current analysis only analyzes the stability of the photodetector device in the photoelectric receiver, and does not analyze the time stability of the electrical signal processing circuit of the photoelectric receiver. In practice, the electrical signal processing circuit will introduce phase drift into the output signal of the photoelectric receiver, which will affect the time stability of the photoelectric receiver, and will also affect the working time stability of the heterodyne interferometric system to a certain extent.
