Eliminate the laser heterodyne interferometry method of nonlinearity erron based on the timing counter algorithm
Technical field
The invention belongs to laser heterodyne interferometry (HeterodyneInterferometry) fields of measurement, be specifically related to a kind of laser heterodyne interferometry measuring method based on timing counter algorithm elimination nonlinearity erron of exempting from accurate adjustment.
Background technology
The laser heterodyne interference system can be used for measuring physical quantitys such as displacement, length, is one of best nano measurement method.This system is converted to tested displacement in the frequency or phase place variation of heterodyne signal, again this measure of the change is come out, because the frequency ratio optical frequency of heterodyne signal is much lower, photosignal is handled easily, can be through electronic fine-grained and reach higher Measurement Resolution, resolution can reach micromicron (pm) or better.
But ubiquity non-linear (nonlinearity) problem in the laser heterodyne interferometry method, these factors can be the main source of error of displacement measurement, make its precision generally have only nanoscale to tens nanometer, its reason is that the different light beam of frequency can not well separate.These periodic nonlinearity erron problems are the obstacles of this art development always.
Constantly invent the method for some improvement for many years both at home and abroad, but also have some restrictions or problems more, for example Badami and Pattersom use ratemeter and frequency spectrograph are directly measured the nonlinearity erron composition and are compensated in mobile system; TaeBong Eom and TaeYoungChoi etc. come the compensating non-linear error to the method for carrying out ellipse fitting behind the phase signal integration.These methods can be when the auxiliary interferometer that does not have other exists the compensating non-linear error, but system complex, and need a large amount of fluctuation signal cycle and relative a large amount of computing, the real-time of influence measurement.In being the Chinese invention patent of CN101660924, publication number announced a kind of new method, this method can address this problem effectively, if but wish to obtain very accurate result, also need point-device optics to regulate, this precise optical is regulated usually relatively difficulty.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve big, poor, the coarse technical matters of result of real-time of system complex, operand that existing laser heterodyne interference system exists, the invention provides a kind of laser heterodyne interferometry method of eliminating nonlinearity erron based on the timing counter algorithm, can eliminate the particular harmonic composition of nonlinearity erron or interference, and remove the needed precision optics regulating device of nonlinearity erron and the minute adjustment process eliminated from, make this adjustment become very easy, simultaneously significantly improve system performance, reduce cost.
The AC signal that the photodetector output terminal of laser heterodyne interference systematic survey light arm obtains is to be the electric signal of frequency with alien frequencies optical frequency difference, and its additional phase differential and measured position moves into accurate proportionate relationship.But wherein comprising so-called nonlinearity erron, mainly be distributed on the first harmonic (also can be called fundamental frequency according to Fourier series character generally speaking, be a kind of spatial frequency) of Fourier spectrum.Method of the present invention can be eliminated the fundamental component of nonlinearity erron; In fact method of the present invention all is effectively to a certain frequency arbitrarily, and need not optical system is done special minute adjustment.
In the laser heterodyne interference system, exist on the signal light path of nonlinearity erron interference component, obtain at least 3 road signals (passage), obtain these signals by carrying the method that at least 3 interference light photodetection parts are set on the light arm that is detected signal, and make have wherein in 3 the tunnel separately that the phase angle of contained nonlinearity erron first harmonic (or other frequency content) has nothing in common with each other at least in the circumference of a correspondence, so just obtained sufficient information, enable pass later face processing such as weighted sum stack and eliminate fundamental frequency (or any one frequency) composition in the nonlinearity erron.The method that the phase angle of realization first harmonic (or other frequency content) has nothing in common with each other in the circumference of a correspondence is a lot, for example by adjusting the phase angle that light path can change corresponding first harmonic, by the error measurement method of disclosed first harmonic in the prior art, can be easy to obtain amplitude and the starting phase angle of first harmonic.Generally speaking, the phase angle of the several signals error of different light paths is unequal usually, if the situation that has phase angle to equate can be known by the method for measuring phase angle in the prior art, and make them unequal by the adjustment light path.Furtherly, our optical system of setting up at random generally speaking, it is identical in a corresponding circumference not have in any 2 the tunnel nonlinearity erron phasing degree, if but finish after the adjusting of optical system, there is the phase angle of 2 road nonlinearity erron first harmonics (or other frequency content that will be eliminated) to be more or less the same then can to influence the amplitude of the useful signal after the weighted stacking in 3 the tunnel, thereby influence the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of output signal, at this moment we can roughly adjust the phase angle of the frequency content that will be eliminated in wherein the 1-2 road with respect to the difference of (frequency content that will be eliminated of nonlinearity erron) signal phase angle corresponding in other passages, and it is increased to fully till (namely enough) to some extent.The method that a lot of detection nonlinearity erron first harmonics (or other frequency content that will be eliminated) phase place and amplitude are arranged now is as " measuring method of laser heterodyne interference nonlinearity erron " " Beijing University of Technology's journal " the 6th phase in 2010 of Chen Hongfang etc.; " the novel measuring method of a kind of laser heterodyne interference nonlinearity erron " of Zhong Zhi etc., photoelectron laser, 2005, etc.The method of adjusting phase angle can realize by the optical path difference of regulating between two light that participate in interfering.
Based on the periodicity of hamonic function, can several integral multiple angles of circumference eliminatings that comprise in the above-mentioned phase differential be disregarded as usually certainly (following no longer do similar prompting).
Adopt and carry out subsequent treatment in the following method: at first hypothesis has only the situation of 3 road signals, 3 road signals is carried out the phase bit comparison with reference signal respectively, until solving 3 displacements.At this moment the phase place of the nonlinearity erron in each passage is different.
By following proof as can be known, there is non-vanishing weighting coefficient array can make that the amplitude of the fundamental frequency of nonlinearity erron after the stack or other frequency contents is zero, and keeps useful signal.
In above-mentioned 3 displacements that solve, the displacement measurement on i road can be expressed as:

Wherein, first χ of equal sign right-hand member is real physical displacement, and second is the primary components of nonlinearity erron, with first harmonic content of the present invention is described here certainly and is without loss of generality; A is coefficient, expresses the nonlinearity erron amplitude, is an a small amount of generally speaking, but does not make approximate processing in the derivation afterwards.

In have any 2 to differ 180 °, can make problem become simple and favourable, this situation generally needs accurate optics adjusting just can obtain, and only need non-linear component to differ 180 ° the 2 road signals enough nonlinearity erron composition of elimination characteristic frequency just, in this that patent of invention of in background technology, having mentioned than being illustrated in more detail.
We have solved the nonlinearity erron problem in the laser heterodyne interference in 3 dimensional linear spaces of electronics to this.
For having the above situation of 3 road signals (passage), we can keep the signal that 3 road phase angles have nothing in common with each other at least in advance, again with all the other several signals and reservation 3 the tunnel in the stack of any one road signal, and with its change on certain frequency of nonlinearity erron phase angle difference each non-vanishing 3 the tunnel.So just dissolve the problem that has solved above becoming, i.e. the situation of 3 passages, and obtained proof.Certainly also can not adopt recited abovely at first to be simplified to 3 tunnel processing procedure, but in weighted overlap-add procedure, together finish.
Can obtain correct weighting coefficient array by following method in practice and eliminate error percentage: (1) incites somebody to action 2 route stacks wherein, because in 2 dimension spaces of this nonlinear certain harmonic components, this two paths of signals has constituted one group of substrate in space, so can generate any one vector by adjusting the stack coefficient, we allow the vector that generates just in time be that direction is opposite with the 3rd signal (vector) on nonlinear certain harmonic components, then with the signal and the 3rd signal (vector) linear superposition that generate, adjust weighting coefficient and just can make nonlinear certain harmonic components be kept to zero fully mutually, and useful signal can still be retained.(2) weighting coefficient that can electricity consumption accent method repeats alternate sweep at least 2 tunnel is measured nonlinearity erron value in the output after the stack simultaneously, and it is constantly reduced, until being zero.(3) adopt fundamental method, after measuring phase angle described in every road and amplitude, directly calculated by analytic method, also can adopt the thinking in (1) here, but be not to decompose to adjust, but substep calculates, no longer carefully separate here.That is to say, can cancel each other by weighted stacking having found the first harmonic error, thereby remove after the above-mentioned principle of error percentage, the related content of record can be selected the weighted stacking mode that is fit to according to the present invention, just can realize the elimination of first harmonic error.The method of above-mentioned multiple acquisition weighting coefficient only is for the ease of enumerating of understanding, and is not the restriction fully to technical scheme.
In order to remove corresponding optics accurate adjustment from, eliminate or the inhibition nonlinearity erron, and be conducive to keep useful signal and select reasonable parameter, as preferred version, make the difference between the phase angle on the signal frequency composition that will be eliminated of 3 periodicity nonlinearity errons at least 3 road signals be not less than 60 degree.This is because we always can make the declinate between any two-phase not too little easily by regulating or arranging in practice.Theoretical and experiment all illustrates, are rational numerical with 60 ° of lower limits as this angle, this is beneficial to the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) after handling, can not make the useful signal of output be lower than the amplitude of single channel after the weighted stacking, simultaneously as long as attempt device 3 to 5 times on the fixing light path that can influence phase differential between 3 tunnel at random blindly, roughly just once chance meet this condition, thereby realize mechanically " exempting to adjust ", and saved corresponding adjuster, made adjusting or the work that arranges become simple and easy.
This " minute adjustment " by electronics replaces the release precision optical machinery of " minute adjustment " of optics to regulate or exempts from the optics The method of fine adjustment, and cost is significantly reduced, and the accuracy requirement that optics is regulated can descend 2-3 more than the order of magnitude.And the precision that total system shows on the nonlinearity erron characteristic frequency also can be significantly improved.
Clearly, whether advantage and meaning that the ultimate principle of this method and itself exist and adopt the integrated optics mode, comprise the optical fiber mode, or bulk wave mode etc. is irrelevant.This method all is effectively for the periodic error in all laser heterodyne interferometry systems, as long as we can access the different signal of at least 3 road its interference component phase places.
The laser heterodyne interference signal is typical weak signal, particularly more requires signal pure in the exquisite system of this elimination nonlinearity erron, and the wave filter in the analog electrical signal is important link in the system.The useful signal of considering this system is single some frequency composition, and the wave filter that the inductance capacitance resonant tank of the in parallel or series connection in the analog electronics constitutes is operated on the natural frequency of single-point, just in time be mapped, the narrow bandwidth of this wave filter that is made of resonant tank can make the logical outer spectrum component of band that various noises, non-linear intermodulation and sampling thheorem require etc. be inhibited, and the characteristics that possess noiseless, radioresistance, are easy to control.The key property of resonant tank is that curve smoothing, analytic relationship are clear and definite, simple.Whether so no matter exist in the system in order to guarantee low-pass filter that sampling thheorem is set etc., adding this resonant tank in the analog electrical signal passage, signal is carried out filtering all is very desirable.But in some cases, very high if desired precision, just need this resonant tank to have very high quality factor, and the quality factor of single this resonant tank are not unlimited, more priorly in addition be, another consequence that quality factor are high be resonant tank for response time of input signal phase place also thereupon direct ratio ground increase, limited the movement velocity of object being measured.This restriction can be adopted in the following method and be overcome, the above-mentioned resonant tank that is about to more than 2 grades or 2 grades is together in series, obtaining new special-effect thus is that overall inhibition to outside " passband " is the multiplication relationship of single resonant tank, and very low for the corresponding time of input signal phase place by contrast.This result gives in the design and has brought great degree of freedom, can obviously promote the complete machine index.After the filtering, record the time that differs between the measuring-signal on every road and the reference signal particular phases (as the zero angle position of crossing that rises or descend) and be converted into phase differential with timing counter, and then carry out displacement calculating, weighted sum overlap-add procedure etc., in order to obtain not having the displacement output of nonlinearity erron special component.
