Abstract
A high performance integrated acousto-optical heterodyne interferometer has been developed for vibration measurement. AH components including an acousto-optical TE-TM mode converters, two electro-optical TE-TM converters, two polarization splitters and two phase shifters are integrated on a X-cut Lithium Niobate substrate. The fully packaged optical integrated circuit (optical-IC) coupling with three fibers optics pigtails gave a signal-to-noise ratio of 69 dB with at 3 kHz bandwidth by using a commercial DFB laser diode as a light source with 1561 nm emission wavelength and a PIN-FET balanced receiver.
