Heterodyne efficiency is an indicator to evaluate the performance of space coherent laser communication systems. It is affected by signal light and local oscillator (LO) light amplitude, phase and polarization state. In this paper, based on the common heterodyne efficiency, a heterodyne efficiency model that can reflect polarization aberration of optical system is proposed. The heterodyne efficiency is analyzed when the signal light and the LO light are linearly polarized or circularly polarized. For a coherent communication optical system, when the incident signal light is right-circularly polarized light and the incident LO light is 45° linear polarized light. Based on the three-dimensional ray tracing theory and the heterodyne efficiency proposed in this paper, the change of polarization states and the distribution of heterodyne efficiency of the signal light and LO light influenced by the optical system's polarization aberration are analyzed. Analysis shows that the heterodyne efficiency model proposed in this paper can be used to evaluate coherent communication systems and reflect the influence of optical system polarization aberration.

This article describes a FM modulation algorithm to increase the measurement speed by increasing the beat frequency of the laser without acousto-optic modulator(AOM) in the heterodyne laser interferometer. The proposed algorithm can increase the beat frequency of the heterodyne laser which limit the measurement speed by adjusting a carrier frequency through electronic circuit, while AOM is used to shift the frequency of the heterodyne laser in conventional method. Electronic circuit is constructed to modulate the signals from a laser interferometer and a waveform generator. The brier analysis, the measurement scheme of the system, and the experimental results using a Zeeman-stabilized He-Ne laser are presented. They demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is proven to enhance the measurement speed limit by increasing the beat frequency of the heterodyne laser.

We have proposed and demonstrated a novel method of heterodyne detection using all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The method is characterized by the phase modulation with a sawtooth waveform instead of a frequency modulation in true heterodyne. The experimental results will be compared with the expected results.

We have analyzed the short pulse generation using heterodyne techniques. The numerical model for semiconductor lasers under the heterodyne technique is based on the Lang's equation and has been extended in order to take into account the simultaneous injection of the multiple sidebands of the current-modulated laser. The unselected sidebands will affect the optical and RF-spectral characteristics even when the semiconductor laser is locked to the target sidebands.

One of the ever-increasing demands on the performances of heterodyne interferometers is to improve the measurement resolution, of which current state-of-the-art reaches the region of sub-nanometers. We propose a new scheme of phase-measuring electronics that reduces the measurement resolution without further increase in clock speed. Our scheme adopts a super-heterodyne technique that lowers the original beat frequency to a level of 1 MHz by mixing it with electrically generated reference signal. The technique enables us to measure the phase of Doppler shift with a resolution of 1.58 nanometer at a sampling rate of 1 MHz. To avoid the undesirable decrease in the maximum measurable speed caused by the lowered beat frequency, a special from of frequency up-down counting technique is combined with the super-heterodyning. This alloys performing required phase unwrapping simply by using programmable digital gates without 2$\pi$ ambiguities up to the maximum velocity of 2.35 m/s.

We propose a new scheme of high-resolution heterodyne interferometer that employs the two-axial mode He-Ne laser with an inter-mode beat frequency of 600-1000 MHz. An electronic RF-heterodyne circuit lowers the beat frequency down to 5 MHz, so that the phase change of the interferometer output is precisely measured with a displacement resolution of 0.1 nanometer without significant loss of dynamic bandwidth. A thermal control scheme is adopted to stabilize the cavity length with aims to suppress frequency drifts caused by the phenomena of frequency pulling and polarization anisotropy of the two-axial mode laser to a stability level of 2 parts in $10^9$. The two-axial mode HeNe laser yields a high output power of 2.0 mW, whlch allows us to perform multiple measurements of up to 10 machine axes simultaneously.

On the homodyne interferometers, high pass filter(HPF) is usually used to remove the electrical noise in the interferent signal. Heterodyne interferometer has modulating frequency is shifted in the frequency region where the electrical noise effect is minimized by HPF effect. However, on the homodyne interferometer, the interferent DC-component of homodyne interferometer is unfortunately eliminated by using a HPF because its shifted frequency does not exist. Moreover, this effect is more serious the vibration amplitude is smaller. So, when unstable interferent signals via HPF are demodulated, a velocity is distorted. In this work, the mathematical explanation for the distortion of the homodyne interferent signal using the HPF is given. New synthetic heterodyne LDV based on the homodyne interferometer by exciting the reference mirror is proposed for the cancellation of the distortion. The optimum excitation condition of the mirror to compensate the distortion is discussed. The numerical simulation using the commercial MATLAB code is provided to show the effect of the proposed synthetic heterodyne LDV. The experimental results are also given and the effect of the proposed LDV is discussed.

We propose a new scheme of high-resolution heterodyne interferometer that employs the two-axial mode He-Ne laser with an inter-mode beat frequency of 600~1000 MHz. An electronic RF-heterodyne circuit lowers the beat frequency down to 5 MHz, so that the phase change of the interferometer output is precisely measured with a displacement resolution of 0.1 nanometer without significant loss of dynamic bandwidth. A thermal control scheme is adopted to stabilize the cavity length with ainus to suppress frequency drifts caused by the phenomena of frequency pulling and polarization anisotropy of the two-axial made laser to a stability level of 2 parts in $10^9$. The two-axial mode HeNe laser yields a high output power of 2.0 mW, which allows us to perform multiple measurements of up to 10 machine axes simultaneously.
