论文摘要
在论文中，我们解释了一种自动化的LabView受控设置，该设置可以使用激光光源对晶体材料中的折射率进行干涉测量。该设置结合了机械系统，一个微型计算机控制的无齿轮驱动器，米歇尔森干涉仪，光学检测器，数据采集系统和Labview虚拟仪器，以准确地确定给定平面样品的折射率。我们解释了开发系统的概念，实现和硬件/软件特点。对不同晶体的测试实验产生的结果与可用参考数据非常吻合。所提出的设置的潜在应用范围从基本的光学研究到生物素器仪器，其中有效的光传递至关重要，并且需要可靠的自动探测工具来进行光学组件表征。
In the paper, we explain an automated LabVIEW controlled setup that enables interferometric measurements of refractive indices in crystalline materials using a laser light source. The setup combines a mechanical system, a microcomputer-controlled gearless drive, a Michelson interferometer, an optical detector, a data acquisition system and a LabVIEW virtual instrument for an accurate non-destructive determination of the refractive index of given plane-parallel samples. We explain a concept, implementation, and hardware/software peculiarities of the developed system. Test experiments on different crystals yielded results that are in good agreement with available reference data. The range of potential applications of the proposed setup extends from fundamental optical research to biophotonics instrumentation, where efficient delivery of light is of crucial importance and reliable automated probing tools are needed for optical components characterization.
