Two Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based passive homodyne demodulation methods (PGC and 3×3coupler) are conducted for heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR) detection.
A position test is frequently implemented during a precision machine test for a machine tool and a coordinate measurement machine (CMM). Since implementing a complete test using traditional methods takes a great deal of time and some reference parts, this paper describes the development of a novel quadrant photodiode (QPD) plate, which does not need highly accurate reference parts, and is also faster and cheaper than traditional systems. It consists of 16 QPDs, 16 signal processors for the QPDs, one laser diode, one analogue-todigital converter, and one personal computer. In this paper, in order to reduce the noise of the QPDs, each QPD has individual signal processors. Calibration, stability test, and machine tool repeatability test have been performed. The accuracy of the QPD plate has reached -0.5 mm.
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.
