Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of high-precision measurement, in particular to a laser interference measurement signal processing device and a signal subdivision method.
Background
To make interferometers achieve high precision measurements with nanometer-scale accuracy, high resolution is first obtained. At present, there are two main methods for improving the resolution of an interferometer: firstly, interference signals are subdivided through a circuit; the second is to multiply the optical path difference. The laser interference measuring system has limited frequency multiplication of optical path difference due to factors such as structure, and the measurement accuracy provided by the laser interference measuring system depends on a signal processing and subdivision method to a great extent.
The method comprises the following steps of subdividing two periodic orthogonal signals output by an interferometer, wherein if hardware subdivision is adopted, the higher the subdivision number is, the more complex an electronic system is, and the nonlinear error can be added to the system due to noise brought by a processing circuit; if software subdivision is adopted, subdivision is usually realized by using a method of distinguishing trigrams and table lookup, but a program and a tangent table need to be modified to realize high-power subdivision, the software query is slow in subdivision speed, and the method is mainly used for a measuring system with low input signal frequency, and restricts the application of a laser interference measuring system in real-time, high-speed and other scenes to a certain extent.
