  • Patent number: 11255655
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a differential sinusoidal phase modulation laser interferometric nanometer displacement measuring apparatus and method. The beam output from the single-frequency laser is converted into a 45° linearly polarized beam after passing through the polarizer, then projected onto two sets of sinusoidal phase modulation interferometers consisting of the beam splitter, the electro-optic phase modulator, the half wave plate, three pyramid prisms, two polarization beam splitters, thereby forming measurement and reference interference signals which are received by two photodetectors. A high-frequency sinusoidal voltage signal is applied to the electro-optic phase modulator placed in the common reference arm of the two interferometers, thereby modulating the interference signal into a high-frequency AC signal. By detecting the difference between the phase change amounts of the two interference signals when the measured object moves, the measured displacement can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20220049788
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an electromagnetic regulating valve with a check function. The valve may effectively regulate the flow in a valve body. Due to different lengths and taper angles of a valve flap group, the flow can be regulated more finely, and a medium can be prevented from backflow by a check function when necessary. Meanwhile, a mesh structure of bases of valve flaps can effectively reduce the instability of flow field motion so as to achieve an effect of rectifying.

The interference beam projects onto the interference signal processing and controlling system. In the wavelength-leverage laser interferometric system, the synthetic wavelength and the single wavelength as well as the measured absolute distance and the moving displacement of the cube-corner prism in the reference arm form a wavelength-leverage absolute distance measurement relationship.
