    Fabry Perot detector for low coherence interferometry
    (2023-06) Cerrotta, Santiago; Torga, Jorge Román; Morel, Eneas Nicolás
    Se proponen dos diseños teóricos de detectores de intensidad para distintas longitudes de onda basados en cavidades Fabry Perot para ser aplicados en la técnica de interferometría de baja coherencia en el dominio de las frecuencias (FD-LCI). Un detector axial unidimensional que consta de una cavidad variable con un fotodiodo y otro detector radial con cavidad fija y con un array lineal o cámara. Se demostró su factibilidad teórica realizando simulaciones de haces gaussianos propagándose a través de cavidades con diferentes características. Se optimizaron los parámetros para que los detectores estén centrados en 850 nm, con rangos de 60 nm y resolución por debajo del nanómetro para haces de 500 µm de cintura, condiciones típicas de las fuentes y detectores usadas en FD-LCI. Además, el diseño contempla la posibilidad de usarlos simultáneamente.

    Scanning optical coherence tomography applied to the characterization of surfaces and coatings
    (El Sevier, 2014) Cerrotta, Santiago; Morel, Eneas Nicolás; Torga, Jorge Román
    This paper shows the technique of optical coherence tomography in the frequency domain (OCT-FD) to obtain surface topography and tomography of surface coatings. The setup is based on a superluminescent diode centered on 849 nm with an spectral wide of 50 nm as the light source, a single-mode fibre Michelson interferometer and a spectrometer as the detector system. This scheme allows having compact and robust equipments that was designed to be used in an industrial environment. With this system it can be obtain a tridimensional image acquired point by point with a maximum range of 20 mm width and length and 2 mm depth. Images obtained from the topography of metal samples and tomography of polymer based coatings is presented. Also it is shown that is possible to obtain, from these images, parameters of interest of the sample, such as roughness, flatness and characteristic distances. As an example to show the potential of the method the dimensions of a metal surface modified after laser ablation were measured from a topography image obtained with this technique. A second example presented was the image obtained of a roughness pattern made on a metal surface. Finally it was presented a tomography image of a modified polyurethane coating deposited on a metal surface. Thickness and refractive index of the coating were obtained after the image analysis.

    Extending low-coherence interferometry dynamic range using heterodyne detection
    (2020-08) Cusato, Leslie; Cerrotta, Santiago; Torga, Jorge Román; Morel, Eneas Nicolás
    Low-coherence interferometry (LCI) technique is generating considerable interest in industrial applications where there is a need for larger measurements with high resolution. Conventional Fourier domain systems reach a limiting depth of around 3 mm, mainly due to the spectrometers used as detectors. In this work, we present an optical detection system that performs the Fourier transform of the LCI signals, based on a spatial heterodyne spectrometer. This device avoids the fall-off effect of the spectrometer, allowing to reach measurable optical depths of almost 5 cm without losing resolution. We describe the theory underlying this detection system and present experimental results which are in great accordance.
