Equivalent wavelength self-mixing interference vibration measurements based on envelope extraction Fourier transform
Abstract:
In order to improve measurement precision and facilitate the instrument installation of the equivalent wavelength self-mixing interferometer, an envelope extraction Fourier transform algorithm is presented for microscopic vibration measurement. Theoretically, the precision is about 21 nm without modulation, and the minimum measurable vibration amplitude is about 87 nm. The validity of the proposed method was demonstrated with simulated signals and then confirmed by several experimental measurements.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
