Усиление Автодинного Сигнала В Бистабильном Вертикально-Излучающем Лазере С Использованием Вибрационного Резонанса

Abstract

For the first time, it is demonstrated experimentally that a vibrational resonance in a polarization-bistable vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser can be used to increase the laser response in autodyne detection of microvibrations from reflecting surfaces. In this case, more than 25-fold signal amplification is achieved. The influence of the asymmetry of the bistable potential on the microvibration-detection efficiency is studied.
