Active feedback regulation of a Michelson interferometer to achieve zero-background absorption measurements

Lundin, Patrik LU ; Guan, Zuguang LU and Svanberg, Sune LU (2011) In Applied Optics 50(3). p.373-378
Abstract
An active phase-controlling scheme based on a proportional-integral-derivative-controlled piezoelectric transducer is presented with the purpose of stabilizing a quasi-zero-background absorption spectrometer. A fiber-based balanced Michelson interferometer is used, and absorption due to a gas sample in one of its arms results in an increased light signal to a detector, which otherwise, thanks to destructive interference, experiences a very low light level. With the presented approach, the sensitivity of already potent absorption measurement techniques, e.g., based on modulation, could be improved even further. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America
