Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of laser ranging, and particularly relates to an area array frequency sweep measuring device and method.
Background
In modern industrial production, the precision degree of part processing becomes more and more the key of high-performance equipment, and it is very important to accurately and stably produce parts with required specific sizes and shapes. Therefore, accurate detection of the produced parts is an important link for ensuring high-quality production. In the prior art, the appearance of a part is required to be obtained through point-by-point scanning, and the measurement speed is limited by the scanning speed, so that the high measurement speed is difficult to obtain at the same time of high sensitivity. This is determined by the nature of the spot scan. Therefore, there is a need to develop a method for measuring the thickness and distance of an object in a large scale, with high accuracy and fast speed without scanning the sample.
The sweep frequency interference ranging is used as a new generation of non-contact precise ranging method and has multiple advantages, such as high sensitivity and high imaging speed. However, the conventional balanced detector and the high-speed data acquisition card are generally adopted to acquire interference data, and the point detection acquisition mode has certain limitation. In addition, in the conventional laser interference ranging principle, two main problems limit the practical application. Firstly, there is a fixed interference peak on the transform spectrum of the signal, when the signal peak and the interference peak are aliased, the measurement is difficult to realize, i.e. it is "immeasurable" corresponding to a certain distance range, and this immeasurable region is also called dead zone. Another problem is that there is a non-ambiguous distance to measure the distance due to the fourier transform limitations. As the measured distance becomes longer, the measurement result will oscillate repeatedly within the range of the non-fuzzy distance, so for a measurement result in a rise, the experiment cannot determine the axial moving direction of the measured point, which is the direction ambiguity caused by the non-fuzzy distance. The high-precision machining feedback can be realized only by expanding the measurement range and improving the measurement precision.

the process of the wavelength output by the tunable laser 1 changing along with time is called optical frequency scanning, which is called frequency sweeping for short; the tunable laser 1 can send out trigger signals with equal wave number intervals, namely, each time output light of the tunable laser changes the same wave number, one trigger signal is sent out and used for controlling the camera 8 to start collecting; the computer 9 is provided with a signal collecting device such as a camera; the interference image formed between the reflected light of the object to be measured 6 and the reflected light of the reflecting element 11 is recorded by the camera 8; the computer 9 collects the interference image transmitted by the camera 8 and is used for analyzing the surface appearance of the measured object; the lens 7 is used to image the interference image on the camera 8.
Preferably, the lens 7 is a telecentric lens.
Preferably, the reflecting element 11 may be an optical element having a single reflecting surface, the reflecting surface is a reference surface of the object to be measured 6, the reflected light from the object to be measured 6 is first reflected light, the reflected light from the reflecting element 11 is reference light, and an interference image generated by the first reflected light and the reference light is recorded by the camera 8;
preferably, the reflecting element 11 may also be an optical element having two reflecting surfaces, and the optical path structure in this case may be regarded as a dual-reference-arm system. At this time, the reflected light of the object to be measured 6 is a first reflected light, the reflected light of the first reflecting surface of the reflecting element 11 is a second reflected light, the reflected light of the second reflecting surface of the reflecting element 11 is a third reflected light, the first reflected light, the second reflected light and the third reflected light interfere with each other, and the generated interference image is recorded by the camera;
further, the reflecting element 11 having two reflecting surfaces may be a beam splitter plate or an optical window, etc., an optical single element having two nearly parallel reflecting surfaces, or may be composed of a second beam splitter 16, a first optical filter 17, a second optical filter 19, a first reference mirror 18 and a second reference mirror 10, where the first reference mirror 18 and the first optical filter 17 constitute a first reference arm; the second filter 19 and the second reference mirror 10 constitute a second reference arm; the second beam splitter 16 has a fixed and non-uniform splitting ratio, e.g., a ratio of 60:40 for the first reference arm to the second reference arm, and it can be determined whether a certain interference peak originates from the first reference arm or the second reference arm by transforming the intensity of the signal.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
the first reference arm and the second reference arm have a fixed optical path difference phi between them1-φ2Wherein phi is1Is the optical path of the first reference arm, phi2For the optical path of the second reference arm, φ is assumed in this embodiment1>φ2Analysis was performed for phi1<φ2The condition of (3) is analyzed correspondingly.
In the signal transform domain as shown in fig. 4, given phi ═ phi1-φ2Interference peak P corresponding to the first reference armpInterference peak P corresponding to the second reference armsOn the left side of (A), n is determined to be an odd number, whereas, on the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when P is presentpAt PsOn the right side, n can be judged to be an even number.
Specifically, given a fixed optical path difference φ between the first reference arm and the second reference arm, the distance l of the object under test 6 mirrored with respect to the first reference arm is known to be at the nth non-modeThe paste distance interval satisfies the formula l is in the form of [ (n-1) lNAR,nlNAR] n∈Z+Where n is known, l is calculated according to the following formula:
wherein,
wherein c is the speed of light,/NARIs a non-fuzzy distance, npIs the refractive index, τ, of the light-transmitting medium1And τ2Respectively representing the coordinates of the interference peak I and the interference peak II on a transform domain; when the system is a single reference arm setup, there is only one interference peak, and when it is not within the dead zone, the exact distance value is obtained. A typical dead zone range is one percent of the size of a non-ambiguity interval; z+Is a positive integer; z is an integer.
Preferably, the reflective element 11 is a tilted reflective element, i.e., tilted by an angle θ with respect to the optical axis, and the dead zone can be suppressed and the range can be extended. For example, the reflective element 11 is angled at 2 ° to the x-axis; the principle of the specific oblique reflecting element for suppressing the dead zone is as follows:
assuming that (x, y) is the surface coordinates of the object to be measured, when the reflecting member 11 is not tilted, the optical path difference between the signal light and the reference light is l (x, y), and the spectrum acquired by the camera 8 is
To S1In that
After the fourier transform is performed on the domain, a pair of signal peaks which are symmetrical along a zero point and are mirror images of each other and a dead zone with a certain width near the zero point appear in the obtained first transform spectrum, the abscissa of the signal peak is ± l (x, y), and the dead zone is the fourier transform of the spectrum I (λ) of the tunable laser 1.
When the reflecting element 11 is at the point edge of (x ═ 0, y ═ 0)After the x-axis rotates by an angle theta, the optical path difference between the signal light and the reference light is l (x, y) + xsin (theta), and the spectrum acquired by the camera 8 is
To S2In that
After the Fourier transform is carried out on the domain, a pair of signal peaks symmetrical along the zero point and a dead zone with a certain width near the zero point appear in the obtained second transform spectrum, and the abscissa of the signal peak of the second transform spectrum is in direct proportion to sin (theta). Because θ is a preset fixed value, the center value of the signal peak can be estimated. The dead zone of the second transform spectrum is also the fourier transform of the spectrum I (λ) of the tunable laser 1 and does not alias with the signal peak determined by sin (θ), so that the dead zone and the signal of the negative half axis can be filtered out by using a high-pass filtering algorithm, and the filtered second transform spectrum is inverse transformed from fourier to the x domain to obtain a complex spectrum signal S3Spectral signal S3The mirror portion is also substantially suppressed, no longer including the spectrum I (λ) of the tunable laser 1, and therefore, for S3In that
The transform spectrum obtained after Fourier transform in the domain only comprises one signal peak, and both the dead zone and the image signal can be greatly inhibited. Therefore, the area array sweep frequency measurement range can be expanded from the positive half shaft to the whole positive half shaft and the whole negative half shaft, and is not interfered by dead zones.
In the present invention, both the transmissive element and the reflective element may be tilted, which is in accordance with the principle of suppressing the mirror portion and the dead zone.
