Abstract
We consider the operation of a self-mixing interferometer on distances larger than the laboratory scale, that is, tens to hundreds of meters, and develop for the first time the theoretical analysis of SMI performances in the near and far field (FF), presenting results about signal amplitude (AM), SNR, C factor, spot size, and linewidth. Theory is also valid for the realistic case of an elliptical laser spot. Thereafter, we compare the theoretical findings with experimental data measured on white paper target using a diode laser SMI operating at 1550 nm, with a SNR =3.6 at 12-m distance and find good agreement. These results open the way to long stand-off vibration, displacement, and distance/velocity measurements.
期刊介绍:
Papers are sought that address innovative solutions to the development and use of electrical and electronic instruments and equipment to measure, monitor and/or record physical phenomena for the purpose of advancing measurement science, methods, functionality and applications. The scope of these papers may encompass: (1) theory, methodology, and practice of measurement; (2) design, development and evaluation of instrumentation and measurement systems and components used in generating, acquiring, conditioning and processing signals; (3) analysis, representation, display, and preservation of the information obtained from a set of measurements; and (4) scientific and technical support to establishment and maintenance of technical standards in the field of Instrumentation and Measurement.
