Abstract

To realize accurate phase measurements of a laser, a laser phase demodulation system based on 3×3 polarization maintaining (PM) fiber coupler was proposed and demonstrated. The two output signals of the 3×3 PM fiber coupler were converted to electrical signals through photoelectric conversion, and the phase information was obtained through a phase demodulation calculation based on differential cross multiplication. Through adoption of the 3×3 PM fiber coupler and PM delayed fiber structure, the Faraday rotators could be eliminated and the structure of the measurement system was simplified. Simultaneously, the signal demodulation stability of the system resulting from fluctuations in environmental parameters was improved. Simulation results show that when the effect of random noise with standard deviation of 0.1 is considered, the results for demodulation of phase signals without and with noise are in good agreement with the preset values. The estimated errors of the two cases are ±0.3 rad and -0.3-0.45 rad, respectively. Finally, this type of demodulation method was verified through an experiment, which revealed that the phase demodulation results were consistent with the simulation results. Specifically, the power spectral density of the phase fluctuation in both the experiment and simulation are consistent, and the correlation coefficient is 0.98. In addition, the correlation coefficients of 10 groups of repeated experimental and simulation results are greater than 0.98, and those of 10 pairs of randomly selected experimental results are greater than 0.99. These results thus meet the requirements of stability and reliability for a measurement system and indicate the proposed systems strong anti-interference capabilities.
