A Variable Carrier Generation for Heterodyne LDV with an Optical Phase-locked Loop
Chunlin Gao,
Christian Rembe
Abstract:A heterodyne laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) requires a frequency shifter to generate a carrier for the vibration information in the detector signal. The carrier frequency should be carefully selected in order to obtain the intended measurement range with a demodulation bandwidth that avoids existing noise sources. The traditional frequency shift in heterodyne LDV is realized with an acoustooptical modulator, which can only generate a fixed carrier frequency. In this paper, a variable carrier generation method … Show more
