Description
Summary:博士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 應用力學研究所 === 86 === Abstract An innovative laser Doppler vibrometer/interferometer has been developed. In order to improve many of the drawbacks which exist in traditional interferometers, a circular polarization interferometer configuration that uses two orthogonally polarized light beams instead of an acoustic optical modulator (AOM) to remove directional ambiguity is adopted. A built-in compact microscope system designed to facilitate sample alignment/focusing and measurement location identification is also discussed. A balanced mechanical design which ensures structural thermal stability needed for high precision interferometry measurement is presented. The analog and digital phase demodulating methods developed to achieve an optimum cost performance ratio is examined. Interferometers represent one of the most promising technologies to measure high precision mechanical systems. However, most traditional interferometers are finding it difficult to keep up with the current high speed, high-tech development pace and to adapt rapidly to today''s versatile and complicated measurement situations. To overcome the main drawbacks of traditional optical metrology instruments, a new miniature interferometer system was developed jointly by National Taiwan University, Tjing-Ling Industrial Research Institute, and AHEAD Optoelectronics, Inc. This newly developed instrument possesses the following features such as (1) requires no modification to measurement surfaces, (2) has an absolute/differential detection capability, (3) is able to accommodate samples with significantly different reflectivity, (4) possesses nanometer resolutions, and (5) has a mega-hertz bandwidth. To demonstrate the nanometer measurement capabilities, this newly developed interferometer was adopted to many different fields. They include: (1) vertical runout measurements and vibration analysis of optical storage device including rotating disks and spindles, (2) dynamic analysis of pickup heads for DVDs, (3) ultrasonic surface wave measurements, and (4) rotating and optically rough surface measurements. It is clear from the experimental data obtained that this newly developed miniature interferometer system can satisfy the stringent demands of today''s ultra-high performance machinery such as optical/magnetic disk drives, compact disk drives, digital video disk drives, micro sensors/actuators, etc.
