Abstract: The invention discloses a four-quadrant interferometry system based on an integrated array wave plate. PBS splits an output laser light into two paths, the reflected light and the transmitted light are respectively transformed into reference light and measuring light, the reference light and the measuring light are converged in PBS, the converging light enters a signal receiving unit and is split into four beams, and the four beams irradiate on a four-quadrant interference signal detector with an integrated array wave plate. The invention solves the problems that the existing signal detection system occupies a large space, is not conducive to array integration, and cannot be used in scenes with high space and size requirements.

Abstract: A high speed high resolution heterodyne interferometric method and system are provided. The invention uses two spatially separated beams with slightly different frequencies and has two measurement signals with opposite Doppler shift. The switching circuit selects one of the two measurement signals for displacement measurement according to the direction and speed of the target movement. In this invention, the measurement is insensitive to the thermal variation; the periodic nonlinearity is essentially eliminated by using two spatially separated beams; the measurable target speed of the interferometer is no longer limited by the beat frequency of the laser source.
