Abstract:

The authors have demonstrated the feasibility of using holographic interferometers to construct telecommunication devices, including modulators, demodulators and analogue-to-digital converters. However, technical challenges stemming from limitations in the dynamic range of detectable phase changes in the signal light beam, difficulties in performing real-time measurements and the processing speed of the generated interferogram parameters constrain this approach.

The physical basis for using holographic interferometers in telecommunications devices is the dependence of the generated interferogram on the parameters of the reconstructing light beam. These parameters can be modulated with precision in accordance with the characteristics of the observed process, and in particular with the parameters of the received radio signal.

The research conducted, which was based on approximations of geometric optics and the uniqueness theorem, has yielded analytical relationships. These establish a connection between the intensity distribution of the optical field in the interferogram plane and the following parameters:

the positions of the light sources during the hologram recording and reconstruction stages.

the devices that modulate the parameters of the optical beams according to the characteristics of the observed process (specifically, the received radio signals).

Using the analytical solution to describe optical fields during hologram recording and reconstruction enables the fundamental patterns that govern changes in the optical field parameters generated by reconstruction to be identified, given the known parameters of the point light sources at the recording and reconstruction stages.

The modelling performed, which aimed to investigate the relationship between the parameters of the reconstructed optical field and the parameters of the point light sources used during hologram recording and reconstruction of the exposed wavefront, demonstrated the high sensitivity of the re-constructed optical field parameters to the spatial position and initial phase of the employed point light sources.

Practical significance. The presented solution is proposed for implementation as mathematical software to substantiate the recording parameters of Fourier holograms for the development of instruments that measure displacement, vibration, and weak electric, magnetic and acoustic fields, as well as the phase properties of optically transparent media.

The obtained solution allows the requirements for the parameters (geometric position and initial phase) of point light sources to be formulated during hologram recording and the reconstruction of optical wavefronts. This can be achieved by considering the specific application area, the measurement range of the target parameter and the required accuracy for measuring the parameters of the observed processes, including the characteristics of radio signals.
