Abstract

A lower limit - the Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) - on the variance of Frequency Scanning Interferometry (FSI) distance measurements in the presence of noise is presented. We show that, with a suitable analysis method, the variance of experimental measurements almost reaches this limit. In particular, the variance of results with a simple analysis method was 1.54 times the limit. This bound aids the understanding of FSI distance measurement uncertainty, and provides a benchmark to compare FSI analysis algorithms against.
