Abstract
The parameter C, named optical feedback strength coefficient, has always exhibited significance in the field of laser self-mixing interferometry (SMI), and it can be utilized to assess the feedback regime or reconstruct an external target's motion. Plenty of researchers have concerned about the technique of acquiring C from SMI signals. Instead of empirical conclusions and according to clear mathematical deduction, this manuscript proposes a fast and cost-efficient method to evaluate C, eliminating large calculation consumption as in the reported optimization methods. Regardless of laser types and the line-width enhancement factor α, it is possible to achieve a relative precision within 5% for C ranging from 0.1 to 5, which is helpful for SMI theoretical studies and SMI sensors.
