    Abstract: An interferometric displacement measurement system and method based on phase modulation of polarized light of micro probe are provided. An electro-optic phase modulator is used to perform sinusoidal phase modulation on a light beam emitted by a semiconductor laser to obtain an adjusted light beam. The adjusted light beam is divided by a polarization beam splitter to generate a reference light beam and a measurement light beam. The two light beams are respectively reflected by a built-in reflection surface of a micro probe and a target mirror, and transmitted to a polarization-maintaining fiber circulator. The reference light beam interferes with the measurement light beam at a fiber optic polarization element to generate an interference light signal. A photodetector converts the interference light signal into an interference electrical signal, and the interference electrical signal is demodulated by a signal demodulator to obtain a displacement value of the target mirror.

    Abstract: Present disclosure relates to a heterodyne grating interferometric method and system for two-degree-of-freedom with high tolerance. The system comprises a separately modulated heterodyne laser (1), an optical prism (23) and a photoelectric detection and signal processing unit (4). The separately modulated heterodyne laser (1) simultaneously outputs two laser beams at different frequencies, which are incident in parallel to a first beamsplitting surface so as to be split, and then a part thereof is incident to a retro-reflector (233) to produce reference beams (53a, 53b), which are incident to a third beamsplitting surface, and the other part traverses a double-diffraction structure formed by a measured grating (3) and retro-reflectors (234a, 234b) to obtain two measured beams (59a, 59b), which are incident to a second beamsplitting surface and then are divided into two parts. Wherein one part is converged to form a first interference beam (61), and the other part is incident to the third beamsplitting surface and is converged with the corresponding reference beams (53a, 53b) to form second and third interference beams (62, 63). Photoelectric detection and signal processing is performed on the interference signals of the three interference beams (61, 62, 63), so as to calculate horizontal and vertical displacement of the grating (3). The present measurement method and system improve the angular tolerance of tip and tilt of the optical grating (3) while increasing the fold factors.

A set of frequency stabilization control method and system based on internal modulation absorption spectroscopy of light source is constructed, and a high-precision laser frequency stabilization method under large-amplitude and high-bandwidth frequency modulation based on frequency discrimination curve reconstruction is proposed to solve a problem that it is difficult for micro-probe laser interferometry measurement benchmark to balance large-amplitude and high-bandwidth frequency modulation, and high-precision frequency stabilization, resulting in that it is difficult to obtain high relative accuracy measurement under large-range measurement. Under the large-amplitude and high-bandwidth frequency modulation, a distortion model of the frequency discrimination curve and a distortion correction model are constructed, which is used for feedback adjustment of phase compensation and reconstructing the frequency discrimination curve.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-frequency hybrid heterodyne laser tracker system based on a single light source. According to the laser tracking system proposed in the present disclosure, multi-frequency laser is obtained by conducting multi-acousto-optic frequency shift on a dual-longitudinal-mode laser unit, and an absolute ranging precision gauge is constructed by using a dual-longitudinal-mode interval of a light source. With the frequency shift difference of a multi-acousto-optic frequency shifter, an absolute ranging roughness gauge is constructed, and the relative displacement measurement of dual-frequency light interference is achieved. Meanwhile, by utilizing the reflection of multiple reflectors and light splitting and combining of polarization prisms, synchronous measurement of multi-wavelength absolute distance, relative displacement and PSD position is achieved, resolving the problem that an existing laser tracker uses multiple light sources, which leads to difference in measurement datum, and consequently to the difficultly in traceback.

    Abstract: A micro-probe laser frequency modulation interferometric ranging method and system, under the premise of not introducing an absolute laser rangefinder to introduce new uncertainties, continuously and slowly changes the modulated laser wavelength, resulting in a continuous periodic phase change in the interference signal obtained by the detector. The laser modulation absorption spectrum shifts from the initial locked absorption peak to another locked peak, and the wavelength changes of the two locked absorption peaks before and after are obtained by checking the table. Meanwhile, calculating the phase difference demodulated by the phase generated carrier (PGC) before and after, and the initial length of optical dead-path is calculated using wavelength scanning technology. Afterwards, utilizing the advantages of high relative distance measurement accuracy of micro-probe fiber optic laser interferometer, real-time measurement of the measured distance is achieved.
