Aiming at the influence of the energy distribution of incident light on the traditional location algorithm of four-quadrant detector (4-QD), the generation rule of measurement error is analyzed. A model to express the energy distribution of the light spot of 4-QD is established by using characteristic parameters, and the measurement error model related to the characteristic parameters is derived. In the actual system, for different spot locations, we can use this model to fit the energy distribution, and get the spot characteristic parameters of the system, and then use it to calculate the measurement error caused by the traditional algorithm in 4-QD system. In the experiment, the energy distribution image of the incident beam is obtained by the beam quality analyzer, and the actual moving distance of the spot is compared with the calculation result of the traditional measurement algorithm. From the experimental results, it can be proved that the measurement error model of the four-quadrant detector, which is described in this paper, is consistent with the experimental results. It can further modify the calculation results of the 4-QD system in practical applications, to improve the measurement accuracy.
This paper first introduces the basic principle of the four quadrant detector, and a set of laser positioning experiment system is built based on the four quadrant detector. Four quadrant laser positioning system in the actual application, not only exist interference of background light and detector dark current noise, and the influence of random noise, system stability, spot equivalent error can’t be ignored, so it is very important to system calibration and correction. This paper analyzes the various factors of system positioning error, and then propose an algorithm for correcting the system error, the results of simulation and experiment show that the modified algorithm can improve the effect of system error on positioning and improve the positioning accuracy.
