Light beam 64 turns into electric measurement signal 67, together entered with electric reference signal 68 by being received after the polarizer 12 by photoelectric detector 13 Applying aspect meter 14, to measure the phase difference between sinusoidal electric measurement signal and sinusoidal electric reference signal.
The specific calculating process of phase difference will be described using with reference to figure 3 and Fig. 4 below.
So-called two-frequency laser interferometer, refer to be formed using the laser beam that two beam frequencies are different and polarization direction is orthogonal The interferometer of interference effect.This two beams laser beam is respectively by the different interfere arm of interferometer, so as to be carried in Returning beam Have different optical phase information, when two beam laser merge once again, will be formed beat frequency interference measurement optical signal, make its with from The reference signal of lasing light emitter carries out phase bit comparison, then can obtain phase differenceAnd two optical path difference Δ l between interfere arm it is following Linear relationship:
Here λ is laser center wavelength,It can be measured by phasometer, it is possible thereby to determine optical path difference Δ l.If Optical path difference Δ l is as caused by displacement, then thus can measure shift length.
In the interference system of the present invention, the light beam of each frequency component have passed through identical geometry distance, but light Journey nl (n be light path in medium refraction index, l be light after geometry distance) whether the identical position depending on angle of wedge prism. When angle of wedge prism shifts with measured piece, two frequency components in angle of wedge prism and in atmosphere after length will send out Changing so that the respective light path nl of two frequency components changes, and causes the phase difference between them to change.
As it was previously stated, the light f of two different frequencies1And f2In the incidence of the angle of wedge prism space is formed with Exit positions Four symmetrical light paths.If f1Light beam is respectively T, Q in the incoming position that goes out of angle of wedge prism, f2Light beam goes out incident position angle of wedge prism Put respectively R, S.No matter whether measured body shifts, and position T, Q, R, S of 4 light paths are constant, and they form one The individual length of side be b rectangle, such as Fig. 3.When angle of wedge prism produces offset d with testee, 4 luminous points are still within original Position, and 4 light spot positions before offseting on angle of wedge prism offset by d.If from perpendicular to the side of angle of wedge prism cross-section To observation, i.e., observed along the direction in Fig. 3 shown in arrow A, light beam f12 light paths do not shift relatively before light path court Extreme direction in the angle of wedge to offset, i.e., the distance that light beam undergoes in glass reduces;On the other hand, light beam f22 light path courts The direction skew of angle of wedge outer end, i.e., the distance that light beam undergoes in glass adds, and sees Fig. 4.
Because 4 light paths are centrosymmetric, the absolute value of respective offset is equal, is set to d.When angle of wedge prism is by glass (if air replaces with vacuum or other media, derivation here is still when glass is made and the medium outside prism is air Set up), both dielectric constants are inconsistent.So although total geometry distance that the light beam of two frequencies passes through keeps constant, It is that optical path but changes.As shown in figure 4, in angle of wedge prism cross-section, light beam f1Inwardly skew, that is, the glass road passed through Journey is reduced, that is, light path is reduced, light beam f2Outwards skew, that is, the glass path increase passed through, that is, light path increase.Due to 4 optical path Centers are symmetrical, and the absolute value of their offset geometry distance is equal, therefore caused corresponding optical path difference is absolute Value is also equal.Assuming that the absolute value for the geometry distance variable quantity that light beam passes through angle of wedge prism is l, α is the wedge of angle of wedge prism Angle, then:
L=d sin α (2)
Here l is directly related with optical path difference Δ l.Because the light beam of each frequency passes through angle of wedge prism for all 4 times, two in addition The change in optical path length one of frequency be on the occasion of and another is negative value, so total optical path difference Δ l and l relation are:
Δ l=8l (ng- nair) (3)
Here ngAnd nairIt is the refractive index of glass and air respectively.If the refractive index of glass is 1.5, the refractive index of air About 1.00027 (can approximate value be 1.0), then both differences are about 0.5 times, so
Δ l=4l=4d sin α (4)
Thus obtain:
Because α can be predefined, λ is laser center wavelength, therefore when by between measurement signal and reference signal Phase bit comparison measures the phase place change of optical path differenceAfterwards, you can the straight line offset d of angle of wedge prism is determined according to formula (5).
For single frequency laser interferometer, two laser beams that beam frequency is identical but polarization direction is orthogonal are respectively by interference The different interfere arm of instrument, so as to carry different optical phase information in Returning beam, when two beam laser merge once again, Interferometry optical signal will be formed, detects its phase, then can obtain the phase difference as shown in formula (1)With two interfere arms it Between optical path difference Δ l linear relationship.Its follow-up derivation is same as above.
A kind of concrete structure of laser interference system is described in superincumbent preferred embodiment.On it is pointed out that The concrete structure that face provides is merely exemplary of the invention not for limiting.Clearly for ordinary skill in the art For personnel, the present invention can also be realized using the laser interference system of other structures, as long as two beam different frequencies can be made Light incide angle of wedge prism surface four road light beams 22,23,54 and 55 or so distribution, i.e., per side two-way light beam from together Light beam, there is same frequency, and this four roads light beam forms four summits of a rectangle.
