Lower detection limit of the acousto-optic effect using Optical Feedback Interferometry

Abstract: Measurement and 3D imaging of acoustic waves through the acousto-optic effect has recently been demonstrated by means of Optical Feedback Interferometry (OFI). In this paper we study experimentally the lower limits of detection of an acoustic wave using an OFI sensor. We show that the OFI sensor exhibits a linear response to acoustic power variations, and we obtain a lower limit of detection of 83 dB rms for a planar acoustic wave at 3 kHz. We also determine the equivalent displacement, that is seen by the OFI… Show more

“…Disturbances of reference beams or installation effects such as sound wave diffraction on optical parts may also occur. In contrast, the Self-Mixing Interferometer (SMI) [ 3 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], also known as Optical Feedback Interferometer (OFI) [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], is a self-aligned interferometer with only two elements in a single component: a laser diode (LD) and a photodiode (PD). The LD targets a retro-reflective surface which back-scatters part of the emitted photons into the LD cavity, where interferences occur from this optical feedback.…”

“…The latter can be estimated by measuring the LD power using the embedded PD, the current of which is converted into voltage to form the SMI signal. Thus, it is possible to use the SMI both as a vibrometer [ 3 , 15 , 16 , 17 ] or as an acousto-optical sensor [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 18 , 19 ].…”
