Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of measuring and possibly controlling the frequency modulation of a laser source.
- a laser source 1 with a modulation voltage command 1 1 corresponding to a frequency setpoint f 0 (t), provided with a digital set storage unit 1 1 1 and a converter 1 12 of these instructions digital to analog signals f 0 (t),
- a Mach-Zehnder type two-arm interferometer with a delay line 21 on one arm and on the other an acousto-optic modulator (or "MAO") 22 itself associated with an RF generator 221, and two couplers allowing one 23 to separate preferably into two equal parts and the other 24 to recombine the light passing in both arms,
- MAO acousto-optic modulator
- a photodiode 3 adapted to convert the signal of luminous intensity of beat coming from the interferometer, into an analog electrical signal
- a device 4 for measuring the signals supplied by the photodiode 3 which comprises a converter 41 of these analog signals in digital signals, a converter 42 of the analog signals of the generator in digital signals and reciprocally connected to the generator 221, and a storage unit 43 at predetermined times digital signals from converters 41 and 42,
- the frequency is determined from the analysis of the signal obtained at the output of the interferometer; it is a beat signal between the two signals emerging respectively from the two arms.
- the signal measured by the photodiode (excluding DC component) is then:
- phase difference ⁇ ( ⁇ ) - ⁇ ( ⁇ - ⁇ ) is characteristic of the frequency / (t) of the laser according to the following relation:
- This method is based on the frequency translation induced by the acousto-optic modulator.
- Acousto-optical modulators are components that can directly penalize the size, mass, power consumption, reliability, and cost of the systems in which they are used. These penalties can also be indirect. For example, it may be necessary to electromagnetic shield the detection chain due to interference from the acousto-optic modulator. In addition, it can also be noted that the work at high intermediate frequencies requires the implementation of a more complex detection chain. Other solutions make it possible to measure the frequency modulation of the laser source. The simplest solution is based on the use of an "unambiguous" interferometer in the vicinity of the phase quadrature, such as for example a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a very short delay or an optical resonator with a large spectral interval. free. An example of a system of this type equipped with a Fabry-Perot resonator is shown in FIG. He understands :
- a laser source 1 with a modulation voltage command 1 1 corresponding to a frequency setpoint f 0 (t), provided with a digital set storage unit 1 1 1 and a converter 1 12 of these instructions digital to analog signals f 0 (t),
- a photodiode 3 able to convert the light intensity signal coming from the resonator 2 into an analog electrical signal
- a device 4 for measuring the signals supplied by the photodiode 3 which comprises a converter 41 of these analog signals in digital signals, and a storage unit 43 at predetermined times of the digital signals coming from the converter 41,
- a synchronization device 6 between the storage unit 43 and the voltage control 1 1.
- a final solution consists in simultaneously measuring the in-phase component and the quadrature component of the interferometric signal derived from a double-arm double interferometer.
- An example of a system of this type with a Mach Zehnder interferometer is shown in Figure 1c. He understands :
- a laser source 1 with a modulation voltage command 1 1 corresponding to a frequency setpoint f 0 (t), provided with a digital set storage unit 1 1 1 and a converter 1 12 of these instructions digital to analog signals f 0 (t),
- a Mach-Zehnder type two-arm interferometer with a coupler 23 for separating, in two equal parts, the light received from the coupler 1 2, and on one arm a delay line 21; the light signal on the other arm is separated by a coupler 25 into:
- a first photodiode 31 capable of converting into a first analog electrical signal, the signal of luminous intensity of beat between the delayed signal and the in-phase component, coming from the interferometer,
- a second photodiode 32 adapted to convert into a second analog electrical signal, the signal of luminous intensity of beat between the delayed signal and the quadrature component, coming from the interferometer,
- a device 4 for measuring the signals supplied by the photodiodes 31, 32 which comprises a converter 41 connected to the first diode 31, a converter 42 connected to the second diode 32, and a storage unit 43 at predetermined times of the digital signals from converters 41 and 42,
- a synchronization device 6 between the storage unit 43 and the voltage control 1 1.
- This technique is interesting because it makes it possible to obtain a good precision / dynamic compromise by using interferometers of great fineness (i.e. having a long delay).
- This technique eliminates acousto-optic modulator. Nevertheless, it requires a quarter-wave plate fixed in time. Moreover, it requires a very precise control of the phase, the acquisition of two signals simultaneously and the good knowledge of the factors A, B, C, D which depend on the incident power, the balance of the power of the channels, and which are thus likely to drift over time.
- the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages. Consequently, there remains to date a need for a method for measuring the frequency modulation of a laser source, simultaneously giving satisfaction to all of the aforementioned requirements, in terms of a good compromise between accuracy / dynamics and cost, congestion and reliability of the system used to implement the method.
- the measurement of the frequency modulation of a laser source is also obtained by means of a two-armed interferometer (Mach-Zehnder or Michelson type, for example), one of the two arms being delayed, but under the following conditions of use:
- the modulation signal is periodic and
- the beat measurements are acquired over different modulation periods under different interference conditions based on a phase difference between the arms of the interferometer which varies little over a period of frequency modulation (typically a few hundreds of ⁇ ) but considerably at the scale of the repetition period of the measurement (a few seconds). This makes it possible to virtually build the in-phase component and the quadrature component of the interferometric signal. We then deduce the frequency modulation of the laser.
- the subject of the invention is a method for measuring the frequency modulation f (t) of a laser source which comprises the following steps:
- the delay ⁇ evolves temporally over several periods T (in practice ⁇ evolves significantly with respect to ⁇ / c typically> 10% ⁇ / c, but little relative typically ⁇ 1%, where c denotes the speed of light) ,
- the measurements made at time t during the same period are repeated at t + kT, with k> 1 and in that the delay ⁇ has evolved from one iteration to the other.
- This method makes it possible to measure the modulation frequency of a laser source with a good precision / dynamic compromise using a simple two-armed interferometer that does not include an acousto-optical modulator. This makes it possible to overcome the drawbacks associated with the use of this component (cost, size, reliability, etc.).
- the proposed solution is based on an analysis of a signal that can be low frequency which then allows to relax some constraints on the chain of detection and signal processing, such as constraints on the sampler.
- the calculation preferably comprises:
- this projection being parameterized by an angle function of f (t).
- this function is advantageously developed in the first order and the projection is then parameterized by an angle proportional to f (t).
- the period T is typically of the order of a few ⁇ (from 5 ⁇ to 1 ms), and the delay ⁇ typically changes over a period ranging from one hundred milliseconds to one minute (from 100 ms to 1 min).
- the temporal variation of the delay ⁇ is stimulated by means of a piezoelectric device.
- the invention can be used to calibrate the control signal to best approximate a frequency modulation predefined by the user.
- the invention also relates to a method of calibrating the frequency of the laser source of a lidar according to a set f 0 (t), which comprises the following steps:
- the number of iterations is generally less than 1 0.
- the invention also relates to a computer program, said computer program comprising code instructions for performing the steps of the method as described, when said program is executed on a computer.
- the invention also relates to a system for measuring the frequency modulation f (t) of a laser source which comprises:
- a synchronization device connected to the modulation control and to the processing unit
- the interferometer is for example of the Mach-Zehnder type or
- the interferometer does not include an acousto-optic modulator.
- FIGS. 1 schematically represent exemplary systems for measuring the frequency modulation of a laser source according to the state of the art, with a Mach Zehnder two-arm interferometer equipped with a MAO (FIG. 1 a), with an optical resonator (FIG. 1b), or with a two-armed interferometer able to measure the in-phase component and the quadrature component of the interferometric signal (FIG. 1 c),
- FIGS. 2 schematically represent an example of a system for measuring the frequency modulation of a laser source capable of implementing the method according to the invention, using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (FIG. 2a) or a Michelson interferometer (FIG. fig 2b),
- FIGS. 3 schematically represent an example of a trajectory of the vector representative of the measurements obtained over 2 periods, with an elliptical trajectory (FIG. 3a) and the transformation of this trajectory into a circle so as to directly obtain the frequency at a constant constant (FIG. 3b). )
- FIG. 4a schematically represents the projection in a three-dimensional space composed of the three main components of an exemplary trajectory of the vector representative of the measurements obtained over 400 periods with then an elliptically based cylindrical trajectory
- FIG. 4b schematically represents the trajectory of FIG. 4a projected on a plane almost perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and normalized in a circle
- the corresponding frequency reconstruction is shown in FIG. 4c
- FIG. 5 illustrates various steps of a method of calibrating the frequency of a laser source according to the invention
- FIG. 6 schematically represents an example of modulation errors obtained after i iterations.
- FIG. 2a a first example of a measuring system capable of carrying out the method according to the invention is described. He understands :
- a laser source 1 with a modulation voltage command 1 1 corresponding to a frequency set f 0 (t), provided with a unit
- a Mach-Zehnder 2 interferometer with two arms, with a delay line 21 on one of its arms, and two couplers allowing one to separate preferably in two equal parts and the other 24 to recombine light passing in both arms,
- a photodiode 3 able to convert the light intensity signal coming from the interferometer 2 into an analog electrical signal
- a device 4 for measuring the signals supplied by the diode 3 which comprises a converter 41 of these analog signals in digital signals, and a storage unit 43 at predetermined times of the digital signals coming from the converter 41,
- FIG. 2b Another example of a measuring system capable of implementing the method according to the invention is described in relation with FIG. 2b, in which the Mach-Zehnder interferometer of the preceding example is replaced by a Michelson interferometer.
- This system includes:
- a laser source 1 with a modulation voltage command 1 1 corresponding to a frequency set f 0 (t), provided with a unit 1 1 1 storage of digital setpoints and a converter 1 12 of these digital setpoints in analog signals f 0 (t),
- a coupler 12 taking a part of the emitted light to send it to an interferometer 2.
- a Michelson-type two-arm interferometer 2 with a mirror 26, for example a Faraday mirror at the end of each arm, a delay line 21 on one of its arms, and a coupler 23 allowing:
- a photodiode 3 able to convert the light intensity signal coming from the interferometer 2 into an analog electrical signal
- a device 4 for measuring the signals supplied by the diode 3 which comprises a converter 41 of these analog signals in digital signals, and a storage unit 43 at predetermined times of the digital signals coming from the converter 41,
- the level of the interference signal is constant even when optical fibers are used without maintaining polarization.
- a portion of the laser field 1 is injected into the interferometer 2, one of the two arms is shifted by a delay (or delay) ⁇ by the delay line 21; the other part is intended for a telemetry or anemometry application for example, which as can be seen in FIGS. 2a or 2b does not intervene in the source modulation process (the telemetry signal or the anemometry is not used for modulation of the source).
- the interference signal from the interferometer is then converted into an electrical signal using a photodiode 3, then converted into a digital signal by the converter 41 to be stored in a buffer (buffer) 43.
- a synchronization device 6 is used to synchronize the acquisition of the signal by the memory 43 with the frequency modulation instruction of the command 1 1. The acquisition of several modulation periods allows a processing unit 5 to reconstruct the frequency modulation of the laser 1 using an original method.
- the method according to the invention operates if the different modulation periods have been acquired under different interference conditions. This can be obtained "naturally”, for example because of a thermal drift of the interferometer or a wavelength drift of the laser. It can also be stimulated, for example if one of the two arms of the interferometer comprises a phase modulation system (of the order of TT / 2). Since this phase modulation is at a low frequency (typically less than 10 Hz), it can be obtained simply by a piezoelectric effect or a thermal effect.
- ⁇ (t) groups together the phase variation associated with the frequency modulation and ⁇ ( ⁇ ) comprises all the terms associated with the average frequency and the parasitic phase fluctuations (resulting for example from phase noise).
- ⁇ ( ⁇ , ⁇ ) is a phase which depends on the optical path variation between the arms of the interferometer 2 but which fluctuates little in the period of the frequency modulation.
- ⁇ evolves significantly with respect to ⁇ / c (typically ⁇ > 10% ⁇ / c, where c denotes the speed of light and ⁇ the wavelength of the source) but evolves little in relative (typically less than 1% or ( ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ) ⁇ 0.01, ⁇ being the evolution of ⁇ over a period T).
- the treatment developed aims to isolate the contribution of the frequency f (t) with respect to the phase fluctuations ⁇ ( ⁇ , ⁇ ), that is to say, to be freed from ⁇ ( ⁇ , ⁇ ) to a constant close .
- This processing assumes that the modulation signal is periodic (of period T) and uses two time scales to measure the frequency f (t):
- Xi (t) x ⁇ t - kjT) with 1 ⁇ i ⁇ m, k t GN, 0 ⁇ t ⁇ T.
- the measurements of x, (t) at these times kfT are called homologous.
- the reconstruction of the frequency emitted by the laser can only be performed after several measurement periods spaced by a longer time scale.
- the point P has for coordinates (cos (a (t) + ⁇ ), cos (a (t) + ⁇ 2 )).
- a technique consists of transforming the ellipse into a circle so as to find a natural definition (ie, an angle) for a. For this, we can perform the following operations:
- Figure 3a is transformed into Figure 3b: a is then, to a constant, directly the phase of the point along the circle.
- x (t) must describe an ellipse in a well chosen plane of R m .
- ⁇ ⁇ x (t) x (t) T > is calculated then diagonalized to define the eigenvectors v, and the eigenvalues ⁇ ,:
- the period T is between 10 and 800 ⁇ and the delay r typically changes over a period of between 1 s and 300 s.
- the points are organized on an elliptical cylinder of axis w 0 .
- a criterion C (w) such as the variance of the norm relative to the square of the norm (we choose the projection plane to obtain the most circular shape possible ): where pw (x) denotes the projection of x along the axis w.
- This method can in particular be used to calibrate the frequency of the laser source of a Lidar according to a set f 0 (t), without using MAO.
- Such a procedure makes it possible to dispense with the possible drifts of the laser transfer function (related to the temperature, the aging of the diode, etc.).
- the main calibration steps described in connection with FIG. 5 proceed as follows.
- a first step is to define a linear transformation between the control voltage and the frequency of the laser.
- This linear transformation can advantageously be obtained by measuring the transfer function of the frequency modulation. This is then achieved by sending a known white noise for example over a frequency band between 0 and 150 kHz, as the control voltage of the modulation of the form.
- a first voltage to be applied to the laser diode is calculated, using a linear transformation of this setpoint, for example using the modulation transfer function such as:
- the processing of the beat signal can be implemented from hardware and / or software elements. It may be available as a computer program product recorded on a computer readable medium, which computer program includes code instructions for performing the steps of the reconstruction process.
- the support can be electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic or be an infrared type of diffusion medium. Such supports are, for example, Random Access Memory RAMs (ROMs), magnetic or optical tapes, disks or disks (Compact Disk - Read Only Memory (CD-ROM), Compact Disk - Read / Write (CD-R / W) and DVD).
