摘要:
A three-DOF (Degree of Freedom) heterodyne grating interferometer displacement measurement system comprises a dual-frequency laser, a grating interferometer, a measurement grating, receivers and an electronic signal processing component; the grating interferometer comprises a polarizing spectroscope, a reference grating and dioptric elements; the measurement system realizes displacement measurement on the basis of grating diffraction, the optical Doppler Effect and the optical beat frequency principle. Three linear displacements can be output by the system when the grating interferometer and the measurement grating perform a three-DOF linear relative motion. The measurement system can reach sub-nanometer and even higher resolution and precision, and can simultaneously measure three linear displacements. The measurement system has the advantages of being environmentally insensitive, high in measurement precision, small in size, light in weight, etc., and is capable of improving the overall performances of an ultra-precision stage of a lithography machine as a position measurement system for this stage.
