Abstract

Optical delay lines have wide applications in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography. In this study, a fast-rotating optical delay line (FRODL) with 24 turntable reflection surfaces was designed. By analyzing the working principle of the FRODL, a mathematical model was established for the nonlinear parameter error of the FRODL delay time. By constructing the polarization Michelson interference system and testing the FRODL structure, the error of actual assembly parameters of the FRODL was approximately 0.015 mm, the actual delay time of the FRODL was greater than 43.5 ps, and the linearity was 99.785%.
