摘要
We proposed and demonstrated an optical delay line composed of all reflective components for long-range scanning without walk-off problem. The optical delay line consists of a retro-reflector, an inclined reflection mirror and a scanning mirror. The size of the optical delay line is within 2 cm x 2 cm and the scanning range can reach 2.9 mm when the beam is incident at the pivot of the scanning mirror and the vibration angle of the scanning mirror is 9.6 degrees. The scanning range can be further increased when the pivot of the scanning mirror is laterally deviated from the incident beam. The optical delay line possesses the advantages that it is compact, easy to fabricate and can perform rapid scanning in large scanning range without walk-off problem. The optical delay line was demonstrated with a low-coherence reflectometer where the scanning rate was 400 Hz. A higher scanning rate can be achieved when a scanning component with higher scanning rate is applied. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
