  • Publication number: 20240361727
    Abstract: A deep learning-based digital holographic continuous phase noise reduction method for microstructure measurement is provided. A MEMS microstructure is simulated to generate an object phase image through generation of random matrix superposition, noise in a digital holographic continuous phase map is simultaneously simulated to generate a noise grayscale image, and a simulation data set is thus created. An end-to-end convolutional neural network is designed, and a trained convolutional neural network is trained and obtained. A holographic interference pattern of an object under measurement is collected by photographing, and after spectrum extraction, angular spectrum diffraction, phase unwrapping, and distortion compensation, a continuous phase map containing only the object phase and noise is obtained and input into the trained convolutional neural network to obtain an object phase map.

  • Patent number: 12007250
    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.
