  • Publication number: 20220260368
    Abstract: A variable synthetic wavelength absolute distance measuring device locked to a dynamic sideband and a method thereof are disclosed. A high-frequency electro-optic phase modulator driven by an adjustable clock source to modulate a single-frequency reference laser to generate laser sidebands with equal frequency intervals. The tunable laser is locked to the fifth-order sideband through an offset frequency locking technology. After locking, the interval frequency of the sideband is determined by the adjustable clock source, namely dynamic sideband. The frequency of the adjustable clock source is dynamically adjusted, the interval frequency of the sideband and the frequency difference between the two lasers will change accordingly. Combined with the multi-wavelength interferometry, the constructed synthetic wavelength is also determined by the adjustable clock source, that is, the variable synthetic wavelength.

  • 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.

    Abstract: An absolute distance measurement apparatus and method using laser interferometric wavelength leverage includes a light source system, a wavelength-leverage laser interferometric system and an interference signal processing and controlling system. The light source system outputs a orthogonally linearly polarized beam with the wavelength ?1 and the wavelength ?2. The orthogonally linearly polarized beam projects onto the wavelength-leverage laser interferometric system to form the interference beam. 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.
