Overview: Overview: Photoelastic modulator, a high-quality thermo-mechanical coupling device composed of isotropic elastic optical crystal and piezoelectric crystal, is widely used in polarization measurement, spectral measurement, and many other fields. A high-voltage resonant circuit is adopted to generate the periodically changing high voltage amplitude, which is applied to both ends of the piezoelectric crystal to drive the photoelastic modulator to perform forced telescopic vibration, thus generating periodic birefringence. Although the quality factor of the photoelastic modulator is as high as 10³, the photoelastic crystal in the photoelastic modulator will vibrate in length under the action of the piezoelectric crystal when driven by the high voltage. In addition, there will be thermal dissipation caused by dielectric loss and mechanical loss, some of which exchange heat with the environment, and the rest will raise the temperature of the photoelastic modulator itself. When the heat exchange between the photoelastic modulator and the external environment is happened before the heat balance, the resonant frequency will be changed, which will lead to the reduction of the modulator driving efficiency and the instability of the modulation amplitude. Standing from the perspective of mechanical point, the system can be equivalent to the vibration model of a damped spring-mass system. The system is an underdamped second-order system, and the modulator can also be equivalent to a RLC series resonant circuit from the electrical perspective. Therefore, when the temperature of the modulator changes, its electrical parameters and resonat will also vary. Therefore, this paper first analyzes the resonant frequency characteristics of the photoelastic modulator from the perspective of electricity, and establishes the equivalent circuit model of the photoelastic modulator and the composite resonant network model with the high-voltage resonant drive circuit. Meanwhile, the resonant network is analyzed, and the results show that when the phoyoelastic is in the resonant state, the modulator impedance and the inductance voltage amplitude of the high-voltage resonant circuit are both the smallest. Therefore, this paper designs a control and test system based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) by combining the above mentioned characteristic and applying the amplitude and frequency characteristics of the resonant network. FPGA completes the measurement of the inductance voltage amplitude and the demodulation of the photoelastic modulation signal through the digital phase-locked amplifier. After obtaining the inductance voltage amplitude, the real-time tracking of the minimum value of the inductance voltage amplitude can be obtained by FPGA, so that the tracking of the resonant frequency of the photoelastic modulator can be realized. By demodulating the modulated signal, the calibration optical path system of the photoelastic modulator is also capable of measuring the modulation amplitude of the modulator. Finally, this paper successfully builds the test system, and conducts the frequency sweep test to verify the feasibility of the resonance tracking system. The resonance tracking tests on the modulator are implemented at room temperature - 20℃ & 80℃ respectively. The results show that the test meets the requirements, and the maximum standard deviation of modulation amplitude is lower than 0.83% rad.
