Near-infrared sensitive two-wave mixing adaptive interferometer based on a liquid crystal light valve with a semiconductor substrate
Abstract
Two-wave mixing adaptive interferometer based on a liquid crystal light valve with a semiconductor GaAs substrate is realized and studied at 1064 nm wavelength. The local response of the dynamic hologram recorded in the liquid crystal layer of the light valve allows for detection of small phase modulations of the object beam. The characteristics of the interferometer are estimated experimentally. The temporal adaptability lies in the subsecond range. The large optical nonlinearity of the cell is favorable for measurements of small displacements with high sensitivity.
