    Abstract

    A miniaturized, high-precision wavelength measurement technology for near-infrared ultra-wideband single-frequency fiber lasers in the 0.8-2.4 μm range is proposed, based on the principle of the Michelson interferometer. The optical components utilized are compatible with the entire near-infrared band (0.8-2.4 μm). A servo motor translation stage with a maximum stroke of 50 mm, combined with a double-folded optical path design, enables an optical path difference four times the horizontal displacement. Signal acquisition and processing are performed using a high-speed acquisition card and a LabVIEW-based upper computer program, achieving miniaturization, high precision, and rapid measurement. A novel sampling number equivalent resolution method is introduced to simplify the wavelength resolution design process, establishing a direct numerical relationship between wavelength resolution and the number of sampling points, while allowing other parameters to be adjusted independently. Wavelength measurement experiments were conducted on five typical single-frequency lasers (0.8, 1.06, 1.55, 1.94, and 2.05 μm), and the results were compared with those obtained using a commercial high-precision wavemeter. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, with a single measurement time of 1.5 s, measurement accuracies of ±1.4, ±1.1, ±1.2, ±1.2, and ±1.3 pm, and a wavelength resolution consistent with the theoretical value of 0.2×10-6. These findings validate the capability of this miniaturized technology to perform high-precision, rapid measurements across the full 0.8-2.4 μm near-infrared spectrum.
