1 DIFFERENTIAL POLARIZATION DELAY LINE controller Supervisor : Mony Orbach Performed by: Maria Terushkin Guy Ovadia Technion – Israel Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering High Speed Digital Systems Lab

2 Introduction – the DDL A device in the EO Lab, used to introduce accurate optical delays in a system Working principle: Split the light into orthogonal polarizations Vary the optical length traveled by one of the polarizations Recombine the two polarizations The result is a very accurate optical time delay

3 Introduction – cont. The electro-mechanical parts of the DDL are: The electro-mechanical parts of the DDL are: A DC motor A DC motor A linear travel stage connected to the motor A linear travel stage connected to the motor A shaft encoder to measure movement A shaft encoder to measure movement Limit switches Limit switches The DDL is supplied without a controller. It is currently being run manually  The DDL is supplied without a controller. It is currently being run manually  The Project’s goal is to build a closed-loop controller for the DDL The Project’s goal is to build a closed-loop controller for the DDL

4 Project Requirements Building and programming a controller for the introduced DDL: Building and programming a controller for the introduced DDL: Closed-loop control of the motor Closed-loop control of the motor PC interface through a USB connection PC interface through a USB connection Functions required: Functions required: Go to “xxx” position Go to “xxx” position Set current position as “0” Set current position as “0” Read current position Read current position

5 Project Requirements – cont. Specifications required: Specifications required: Resolution will be as high as the DDL allows (a single encoder step = 0.5 micron). Resolution will be as high as the DDL allows (a single encoder step = 0.5 micron). No cumulative positional error is allowed. No cumulative positional error is allowed. Velocity of stage movement will be controlled, and kept within the specs of the DDL. Velocity of stage movement will be controlled, and kept within the specs of the DDL. Self-contained solution – with no need for external equipment. Self-contained solution – with no need for external equipment.

14 PID controller Stands for : Proportional Integral Derivative Stands for : Proportional Integral Derivative These terms describe three basic mathematical functions applied to the error signal, Verror = Vset - Vsensor These terms describe three basic mathematical functions applied to the error signal, Verror = Vset - Vsensor Kp*Verr Typically the main drive in a control loop, KP reduces a large part of the overall error. Kp*Verr Typically the main drive in a control loop, KP reduces a large part of the overall error. Ki * ∫ Verr dt Reduces the final error in a system. Summing even a small error over time produces a drive signal large enough to move the system toward a smaller error. Ki * ∫ Verr dt Reduces the final error in a system. Summing even a small error over time produces a drive signal large enough to move the system toward a smaller error. Kd*dVerr / dt Counteracts the KP and KI terms when the output changes quickly. This helps reduce overshoot and ringing. It has no effect on final error. Kd*dVerr / dt Counteracts the KP and KI terms when the output changes quickly. This helps reduce overshoot and ringing.
