Abstract

The optical feedback self-mixing model is theoretical analyzed and numerical simulated when the external cavity of a semiconductor laser suffers a harmonic vibration, a micro-displacement measurement system is set up based on self-mixing effect. A method based on phase unwrapping is introduced to process the self-mixing power signal, which has a good reconstruction effect for different feedback level when the self-mixing signal suffers no noise and interference, and the maximum measurable amplitude error is 28nm peak to peak.
