Analysis of the Errors Caused by Disturbed Multimode Fibers in the Interferometer with Fiber-Coupled Delivery

In this paper, the errors of the displacement measurement interferometer with multi-mode fiber-coupled delivery are analyzed when the fibers are disturbed. Simulation results show that the characteristic frequency of the measurement error is consistent with that of disturbance, and the error has hig...

description In this paper, the errors of the displacement measurement interferometer with multi-mode fiber-coupled delivery are analyzed when the fibers are disturbed. Simulation results show that the characteristic frequency of the measurement error is consistent with that of disturbance, and the error has higher order frequency components. The experiments are designed for the effect of fringe contrast on the measurement error. The experimental results show that the measurement error is rather sensitive to the interference angle between the measurement arm and the reference arm in the multi-mode fibers, but not to the irradiance ratio of the measurement arm and the reference arm. In an interferometer with multimode fiber, the interference angle between the measurement arm and the reference arm needs to be restricted. This conclusion provides a theoretical basis for designing an interferometer measurement system with interference angle that is adaptive to wider application.
