We have demonstrated that commonly available small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules can be used for LDV excitation and calibration. While the expected intensity modulation at the photodiode inside the LDV interferometer is sinusoidal, the SFP module output is designed for and provides a rectangular modulation shape. The conducted experiments produced comparable results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
