Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a synchronous compensation three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry device and a synchronous compensation three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method, which are used for solving the technical problems of complex structure, high adjustment difficulty and insufficient measurement precision in the existing three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry device.
In order that the invention may be readily understood, a more complete description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
The ultra-precise measurement and control of mesoscale is realized by means of a nano coordinate measuring machine, which is a great demand in precision engineering such as high-end equipment manufacturing and semiconductor industry, and the like, the front edge of the international research of nano measurement is promoted to atomic scale, measuring range above millimeter and three-dimensional measurement, the ultra-precise coordinate measuring technology is promoted to become one of strategic high points in the fields of high-end equipment manufacturing and precise measurement, and the three-degree-of-freedom displacement/angle synchronous measurement and the measurement precision break through the limit challenge of nano pointing to picometer level for the laser interferometry technology.
Compared with the traditional multi-beam three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method, the single-beam three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method has the advantages of simple system architecture, no need of extreme regulation and control of multi-beam parallelism and the like, and is expected to play an important role in the field of multi-degree-of-freedom ultra-precise synchronous measurement.
Along with the improvement of precision requirements, the laser interferometry mode is also necessarily required to be changed from single-degree-of-freedom displacement measurement to three-degree-of-freedom displacement/angle synchronous measurement, so that the coordinate measurement precision is improved through decoupling of three-degree-of-freedom measurement results. The three-dimensional movement of the displacement table is realized by superposition of linear movements with different dimensions, and the linear movements are inevitably accompanied by posture change and transverse displacement of the measured object due to unavoidable nonideal of the optical path and the guide rail, and the nonideal of the optical surface of the measured object directly or indirectly causes displacement and angle error of the measuring light beam, and causes a series of problems such as Abbe error, cosine error and the like. Therefore, even though the displacement accuracy of the single degree-of-freedom interferometry unit itself is already better than the nano level, the above secondary effect caused by the angle coupling will cause the actual coordinate measurement accuracy to be greatly restricted, and the decoupling and correction must be performed by the three degrees-of-freedom displacement/angle synchronous measurement.
At present, the three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry technology cannot meet the requirement of ultra-precise measurement. The resolution of the commonly applied parallel beam interferometry method can reach the sub-nanometer level, but the three-degree-of-freedom periodic nonlinear error severely limits the measurement precision, and the extreme regulation and control requirement of the beam parallelism and the complexity of the device structure also bring great challenges to engineering realization. In contrast, the single-beam three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method has advantages and potential because of breaking through the limitation of multiple beams in principle, and is expected to play an important role in future three-degree-of-freedom measurement.
The three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method can be divided into two categories, namely multiple beams and single beam, according to the number of beams used. The former is called a parallel beam interferometry method, which is the most widely used three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method with highest precision at present; the latter can be divided into a single-beam heterodyne interference method and a single-beam homodyne interference method according to an interference mode, wherein the heterodyne method is called a differential wavefront interferometry method and is mainly oriented to space gravitational wave detection, and then the differential wavefront interferometry method is simplified and introduced into three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry research; the homodyne method is called an improved Tasmann-Green interferometry method, which is used for multi-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry after being improved by the Tasmann-green interferometry method originally facing to optical element surface detection, and related research work is less at the starting stage at present. Although the parallel beam interferometry method has the advantages of high resolution, large measuring range, good traceability and the like, the method has limitations, and the method is limited to realize three-degree-of-freedom ultra-precise measurement at present, which is prominently reflected in the aspects of periodic nonlinear errors, beam parallelism and the like.
In addition, three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry based on the parallel beam measurement method has several principle or application limitations:
(1) In the parallel beam measurement method, displacement measurement of three measurement optical axes is relatively independent and the beams are spaced apart by a certain distance. When the measurement distance is large, turbulence in the air will cause different degrees of disturbance to each measurement beam, which will directly be reflected in a relatively pronounced angle measurement instability.
(2) The displacement measurement on each beam is three sets of relatively independent measurement data, which require strict timing guarantees to give an effective measurement result.
(3) The angle of the reflecting mirror to be measured changes, so that the angle of the reflected light changes, and as the angle increases, the interference signal changes from a light spot with changed brightness to a stripe with alternate brightness, thereby rapidly reducing the contrast of the interference signal, and limiting the angle measurement range.
(4) The three-degree-of-freedom laser interference method is currently lacking in two-dimensional angle calibration in a true sense and a complete error model obtained by the method.
Another representative method that enables three degrees of freedom precision laser interferometry is differential wavefront measurement technology (Differential Wavefront Sensing, DWS), which is mainly oriented in the field of deep space gravitational wave detection. The core idea is to utilize a position sensitive device (usually a four-quadrant detector) to differentially detect phases of different areas (quadrants) in an interference signal, so as to calculate a wavefront angle between measuring light and reference light. This approach was originally proposed to address a series of problems caused by position and attitude errors of optical elements in gravitational wave detection. With the rise of space detection projects such as space gravitational wave detection and next generation gravitational field inversion, the technology is mainly used for solving the problems of inter-satellite baseline length measurement and angle coupling errors thereof in a large-range displacement measurement process.
In the actual measurement process, the target to be measured cannot do ideal single-axis movement, the movement process is often accompanied with gesture change and transverse displacement, and the measurement accuracy of the single-degree-of-freedom laser interferometer is greatly limited by the longitudinal displacement measurement error caused by the gesture change and the transverse displacement, so that the high-accuracy measurement of various micro components, complex surfaces, microelectronic devices and precise optical elements is simultaneously satisfied, the laser interferometry device is developed from single-degree-of-freedom displacement measurement to three-degree-of-freedom displacement-angle synchronous measurement, and the displacement measurement result is corrected by measuring the two-dimensional angle information of the target to be measured, so that the measurement accuracy is further improved. In order to compensate for measurement deviations, the rotation angle must be measured simultaneously, and single-beam measurements based on interference fringe analysis or differential sensing techniques use only one measuring beam to obtain both displacement and rotation angle. The DWS technology in the differential sensing technology is more suitable for large-range displacement measurement because a larger angle measurement range can be obtained.
The invention provides a three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry device and a method for synchronous compensation, which have the limitations of various optical elements, complex system structure, large adjustment difficulty, adoption of multiple light beams, difficulty in further improving the precision of an optical path adjustment error and the like.
The invention aims to overcome the defects that the existing three-degree-of-freedom laser interferometry method is complex in structure, high in adjustment difficulty, difficult to further improve due to the fact that multiple light beams are adopted and limited by light path adjustment error precision, and the like, and is a high-precision three-degree-of-freedom measurement method based on cosine error synchronous compensation. The invention adopts differential wave front sensing technology to carry out displacement measurement, simultaneously obtains a two-dimensional deflection angle caused by the inclination of a measuring mirror (a target reflecting mirror) in the displacement measurement process, and utilizes the two-dimensional angle to carry out real-time compensation on the cosine error coupled in the longitudinal displacement measurement result, thereby realizing high-precision synchronous measurement of displacement, deflection angle and pitch angle.

In this embodiment, before measurement, the target mirror 10 is mounted on a target object to be measured (simply referred to as an object to be measured), the measurement light is reflected by the movable target mirror 10 and then forms an included angle (also referred to as a deflection angle) θ with the reference light, the two beams are combined to form a heterodyne interference signal, and the measurement light and the reference light are coherently mixed on the surface of the photodetector 11 (e.g., a four-quadrant photodetector) to form a frequency |f 1 -f 2 The beat signal (interference signal) of the i reads the output signal of the four-quadrant photodetector 11.
The differential wavefront sensing technology is adopted to carry out displacement measurement, meanwhile, a two-dimensional deflection angle caused by the inclination of a measuring mirror (a target reflecting mirror) in the displacement measurement process is obtained, and the two-dimensional angle is utilized to carry out real-time compensation on a cosine error coupled in a longitudinal displacement measurement result, so that high-precision synchronous measurement of displacement, deflection angle and pitch angle is realized.
It should be noted that, the target mirror 10 is preset on the object to be measured and moves together with the object to be measured, and therefore, the three-degree-of-freedom measurement value of the target mirror 10 may be equivalent to the three-degree-of-freedom measurement value of the object to be measured.
