Abstract

This paper presents robust methods for filtering the optoelectronic current generated by laser signals in case of vibration measurements. First is presented a general procedure for obtaining signals corresponding to certain spatial vibrations by using diffracting grating. The diffracting grating is attached to the body supposed to present vibrations, and a set of four photodetectors is placed in the measuring area in symmetrical positions as related to a point of maximum intensity for the received light. The photoelectric current generated by this set is further filtered and processed, so as three electronic signals corresponding to displacements of the body along all three rectangular spatial coordinates axes to be obtained. Then is presented a method for determining the derivative of the spatial coordinates of the body as related to tune, in conditions of low-amplitude vibrations overlapped to a general translation ofthe body along a certain direction, under the influence of an external force. It is shown that such a structure is suitable for controlling the position of material bodies, due to the fact that the derivative of the position as related to time represents the acceleration of the body (proportional to the external force acting upon it).
