Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a displacement measuring system, in particular to heterodyne interferometry for measuring displacement, and a heterodyne interference displacement of a quasi-common optical path architecture Measurement system. [Prior Art] For an optical displacement measuring system using a grating, at least two diffracted lights are generated by a high-coherence light source incident diffraction grating, and the two diffracted lights interfere with each other via an optical element. The interfering signal has a periodic trend of change. When the grating is moved, the interfering signal also changes. Related art, such as U.S. Patent No. 3,891,321, can only measure one-dimensional by the grating manufacturing technology at that time. Bit traffic. With the evolution of technology, multi-dimensional measurement is gradually being developed. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,204,524, U.S. Patent No. 5,493,397, U.S. Patent No. 3,631,005, and No. 6,744,520 are all based on measuring the intensity of diffracted light. And a measurement device with zero difference (h〇m〇dyne). We know that heterodyne interferometry is to introduce two light waves with different frequency differences into two interference paths, so that the light intensity of the dry beta meter produces a change in the intensity, and the oscillation frequency is converted to two. The frequency difference of the light wave, and the interference phase to be measured is carried on the signal with a specific frequency, the measurement signal is mixed with the reference signal, and after demodulation, the interference phase can be obtained by 1270663, because the oscillation frequency is high. It is also a known value, so it can avoid low-frequency noise interference, and has high phase sensitivity and resolution. It is a very important weak signal measurement technology. Because of the measurement characteristics of heterodyne interferometry, this technique, also known as two-frequency interferometry or ac interferometry, can be used for displacement, surface contour, dynamic parameters, etc. However, in the traditional heterodyne interferometry, the two beams of the external environment are easily affected, and a phase difference is generated between them. This phase difference cannot be eliminated, which increases the uncertainty of the measurement. In addition, the displacement measurement system using a single polarized light must convert the light intensity into phase for analysis. The signal processing part is matched with the electronic fine segmentation method, and the surrounding ambient light needs to be suppressed for measurement, although the measurement accuracy can be Up to the nano level, but this has become more complicated in the architecture and increased the inconvenience and inaccuracy of measurement. [Summary of the Invention] In the game, the main purpose of this issue is to provide a quasi-common optical path heterodyne interference conversion stage, the sharp interference difference phase quantity ^ high sensitivity ' and specially designed to make the optical phase change High stability that is not disturbed by the external environment. Direct measurement of the amount of phase change caused by the displacement = can make the measurement accuracy reach the sub-nano level. Therefore, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention is based on the principle that the differential optical source generates a reference light and a signal light, and the heterodyne light source generates a reference light and a signal light, and the signal light is incident on the grating to generate a diffracted light. The diffracted light is further divided into first-diffractive light and second diffracted light via a polarizing beam splitter, and the reference light, the first diffracted light and the second diffracted light are respectively incident on the polarizing plate to generate reference interference light, the first interference The light and the second interference light transmit the reference interference light, the first interference light and the second interference light to the processing device to make a phase difference. When the light thumb moves, the signal processing device measures the reference interference light, first The phase difference between the interference light and the second interference light, and the amount of displacement of the grating can be obtained. The diffracted light system includes positive first-order diffracted light and negative first-order diffracted light, and positive first-order diffracted light is incident on one side of the polarizing beam splitter, and negative first-order diffracted light is incident on the other side of the polarizing beam splitter to make positive one The order diffracted light and the negative first-order diffracted light are polarized at mutually perpendicular angles a and are superposed on each other, and the first and second interfering lights are formed after the side passes through the polarizing plate. Therefore, the quasi-common optical path heterodyne interference displacement measuring system of the present invention utilizes a quasi common path heterodyne optical architecture to reduce the external ringing disturbance and improve the displacement measurement sensitivity. If you match a grating with a finer line spacing, you can measure the small amount of displacement to the pic〇-meter level. The features and implementations of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. [Embodiment] Referring to "1st picture", the system architecture diagram of the present invention is shown. The 1270663 type quasi-common optical path heterodyne interference displacement measurement system utilizes an external difference light and original system. For the star, the light source, and the difference source (heterodyne 1 ight source) 100 series can output light waves containing two different frequencies, and the two light waves are mutually orthogonal linearly polarized light, so the two light waves are not generated. The dry " field difference light source (10) is incident on a beam splitter 300 and is then divided into reference light U 〇 and signal light 130, which is a direct reference light polarizing plate with azimuth angle of 45 degrees (p) Ϊ́iarizer) 3ΐγ, such that two orthogonal linearly polarized lights in the heterodyne light source 100 interfere with each other to generate reference interference light 170' and are received by reference light sensor 710 of signal processing device 700, so this reference interference light 170 The mathematical form can be expressed as: ^DR =^[l+ 0 The other #130 light is directly incident on the moving platform 450 equipped with the grating 410, so that after the signal light 13 is incident on the grating 41, a plurality of diffracted lights 150' are generated. If the grating 41 is one When the grating is 41 ,, a lot of light is emitted in a one-dimensional direction. We call it diffracted light 150. In addition to the intermediate zero-order diffracted light, the diffracted light generated along both sides of the zero-order diffracted light is called positive. The first-order diffracted light 151 and the other side of the diffracted light 150 are referred to as negative first-order diffracted light 152, and sequentially generate positive second-order diffracted light 150 and negative second-order diffracted light 150, and so on, and this embodiment takes positive First-order diffracted light 151 and negative first-order diffracted light 152'. The first-order diffracted light 151 and the negative first-order diffracted light 152 are incident on a polarizing beam splitter 350 together by steering of the reflective elements 330, 330a, making the difference 10 1270663 The light of the polarization state is separated by the polarization beam splitter 350, and we refer to this orthogonal polarization state as P polarization and S polarization, and the polarization beam splitter 3 can pass p-polarized light, while the S polarization The light system is reflected. It is mentioned that the heterodyne light source is composed of two orthogonal linearly polarized lights, so the positive first-order diffracted light 151 and the negative first-order diffracted light 152 also include the two orthogonal linearly polarized lights, that is, p Polarization and S polarization, when positive first-order diffracted light 151 and negative first-order diffracted light 152 are incident on both sides perpendicular to each other by polarized beam splitter 350, P-polarization of positive first-order diffracted light κι is passed, and negative one The s-polarization of the order diffracted light 152 is reflected and overlaps with each other to become the first diffracted light 160. The first diffracted light 16 passes through the polarizing plate 310 at a 45-degree angle to generate the first interfering light in, and the signal is generated by the signal. The first sensor 730 of the processing device 700 receives the mathematical representation of the first interference light 171 at this time: the path difference between the positive first-order diffracted light 151 and the negative first-order diffracted light 152. The resulting phase difference is the phase difference produced when the grating 41 〇 moves by Δχ. Here, m represents the diffraction order 'd system represents the line width of the grating 410. In addition, the S polarization of the first-order diffracted light 151 is reflected by the polarization beam splitter 350, and the p-polarization of the negative-order diffracted light 152 directly passes through the polarization beam splitter 35 〇 and coincides with each other to become the second diffracted light. 161, the second diffracted light i6i passes through the second polarizing plate 311 at a 45-degree angle to generate the second interference light 173, and is received by the second sensor 75() of the 11 1270663 signal processing device 7GG. The mathematical representation of the two interfering lights 173 is: 4 + 2^) ~ +1) _ (ω 卜 - more J). Therefore, when the signal processing device 700 transmits the reference photo sensor 71 〇, the first sensor 730 Receiving the reference interference light 17 与 with the second sensor 750, the first interference light 171 and the second interference light 173 can measure the phase difference generated when the grating 41 〇 moves & and then using known conditions, For example, the displacement of the grating 41〇 can be obtained by the diffraction order m and the line width d of the grating 410. According to the above formula, we know that although the first-order diffracted light 151 and the negative first-order diffracted light 152 are not the same The optical path is the same path, but the phase difference of the last interference signal is not affected by this, so its positive-order diffracted light 151 and Although the first-order diffracted light 152 is not transmitted in the same path, it does not affect, so the positive first-order diffracted light 151 and the negative first-order diffracted light 152 can be said to be quasi-optical paths. Therefore, the optical structure of the present invention can withstand higher The tolerance of the environmental variation. In this embodiment, the first-order diffracted light 151 and the negative first-order diffracted light 152 ' are selected, but different orders of diffracted light 150, such as second or third order, may be selected according to different measurement range sizes. The above-mentioned reflective elements 330, 330a may be mirrors, right angles, etc., such that the positive first order diffracted light 151 and the negative first order diffracted light 152 are turned toward the polarizing beam splitter 350. And the grating 410 is reflected. A grating (reflecti〇n grating) or 12 1270663 is also known as a blazed grating. The grating 410 can be made of a metal film or a dielectric film, and the film is plated on a glass substrate or a germanium substrate to form With a periodic line spacing, the current semiconductor processing technology has a minimum width of about 90 nm, so the smaller the line width of the grating 410, the higher the accuracy of the measurement. Please refer to "Fig. 2" A system architecture diagram of another embodiment of the present invention is the optical architecture of the previous embodiment. The grating 410 is a two-dimension grating or a cross grating, and a one-dimensional grating 430. The incident light is incident to generate two-dimensional diffracted light 150. Therefore, when the light generated by the heterodyne light source 100 is incident on the beam splitter 3, it becomes the signal light 130 and the reference light no. The direct incident azimuth angle of the reference light system is 45. The polarizing plate 31 is so that the two orthogonal linearly polarized lights in the heterodyne light source 1 互相 interfere with each other to generate the reference interference light 17G, and are received by the reference light sensor 71 讯 of the signal processing device 700. In addition, the signal light 130 is directly incident on the moving platform 450 on which the two-dimensional grating 430 is mounted. After the signal light 130 is incident on the grating 410, a plurality of diffracted lights 15 产生 are generated along the two-dimensional side: 'two XY directions, wherein the middle The diffracted light is zero-order around the county, and the diffracted light generated along the X-direction along the zero-diffracted light is called the first-positive-order diffracted light 153 in the X direction, and the diffracted light on the other side is in the X direction. The first-negative-order diffracted light 154, and the other-dimension (i.e., the Y-axis) of the diffracted light 150 is in the γ-direction of the second positive first-order diffracted light 155, and the other 1270663-side diffracted light 150 is Α 々 The second direction of the Υ direction is the first-order diffracted light 156. When the ', i are in the 匕 direction, there will be other higher order diffracted light (10), but this embodiment uses the positive-order diffracted light in the X direction and the Y direction. Negative-order diffracted light, so for the sake of brevity, for the first-order-order diffracted light 153 in the X direction, the first-negative-order diffracted light 154 in the x direction, and the second positive-order in the Y direction, a plurality of second-order diffracted lights 156 in the Y direction, directly referred to as first positive first-order diffracted lights 153, first First-order diffracted light 154, a positive second-order output light 155 about a second-order diffracted light of negative Mg. The first positive first-order diffracting aperture 53 and the first negative first-order diffracting aperture 54 are incident on the first polarizing beam splitter 370 through the steering of the reflecting elements 330b, 330c, so that the light of different polarizations is polarized. The beamsplitters are separated, and since the heterodyne light source 100 is composed of two orthogonal linearly polarized lights, the first positive first order diffracted light 153 and the first negative first order diffracted light 154 also include the two orthogonal lines. Polarized light, that is, P polarization and S polarization, when the first positive first order diffracted light 153 and the first negative first order diffracted light 154 are incident on both sides perpendicular to each other by the first polarizing beam splitter 370, the first order is made The P-polarization of the diffracted light 151 passes, and the s-polarization of the negative first-order diffracted light 152 is reflected and overlaps to become the first diffracted light 160'. The first diffracted light 160 is generated by the first polarizing plate 310 at an angle of 45 degrees.

The second diffracted light 161 passes through a 45-degree angle. The second polarizing plate 31i generates a second interference stop 73 in the X direction, which is received by the second sensor 750 of the signal processing device 7. The first-order first-order diffracted light 155 and the second negative first-order diffracted light 156 are also incident on the second polarized beam splitter 39〇 via the reflective elements 330d and 330e, and the two are perpendicular to each other. Side incidence, so that the P polarization of the first-order first-order diffracted light 155 passes, and the S polarization of the second negative first-order diffracted light 156 is reflected and coincides to become the third diffracted light ι63, the third diffracted light The third interference plate 175 in the gamma direction is generated by the third polarizing plate 313 at an angle of 45 degrees, and is received by the third sensor 770 of the signal processing device 700. The S polarization of the second positive first order diffracted light 155 is reflected by the second polarized beam splitter 390, and the p polarization of the second negative first order diffracted light 156 directly passes through the second polarized beam splitter 390 and coincides with each other. Together with the fourth diffracted light 165', the fourth diffracted light 165 passes through the fourth polarizing plate gig at an angle of 45 degrees to generate the fourth interfering light 177 in the Y direction, and is received by the fourth sensor 790 of the signal processing device. . Therefore, when the signal processing device 700 receives the reference interference light 17 through the reference light sensor, the first sensor 730, the second sensing 750, the third sensor 770, and the fourth sensing 15 1270663 790. The first interfering light I" in the x direction, the second interfering light 173 in the χ direction, the third interfering light m in the γ direction, and the fourth interfering light m in the γ direction can be measured when the two-dimensional grating 43 is moved two-dimensionally. The phase difference generated can be used to obtain the two-dimensional movement of the two-dimensional grating via the phase difference. π wherein the two-dimensional grating is a reflective two-dimensional grating or a blazed two-dimensional grating, the grating 410 is available. The metal film or dielectric film is made of 'this thin lining on the glass substrate to form a periodic line pitch' and the current semiconductor process technology has a minimum width of about 9 〇 nanometer, so when the line of the grating 410 The smaller the distance from the width, the higher the accuracy of the measurement. Similarly, in this embodiment, the first positive first-order diffracted light 153 in the two-dimensional χ direction, the first negative first-order diffracted 154 in the X direction, and the first γ direction are selected. The first-order diffracted light 155 and the first negative first-order diffracted light 156 in the Υ direction, but It is possible to select two-dimensional different orders of diffracted light according to different measurement range sizes, such as second-order or third-order, etc. The above-mentioned reflective elements 330b, 330c may be mirrors or right-angled 稜鏡, etc. A positive first-order diffracted light 153 and a first negative first-order diffracted light 154 are turned toward the mutually perpendicular sides of the first polarizing beam splitter 37. Further, the reflecting elements 330d, 33〇e also make the second positive first order The diffracted light 155 and the second negative first-order diffracted light 156 are turned toward the mutually perpendicular sides of the second polarizing beam splitter 390. Since this embodiment uses the optical structure of the previous embodiment, because the last real 16 1270663 embodiment It is designed for the dimension of the dimension, and the actual complement wire shows that the optical architecture can be expanded to a two-dimensional system, so its basic considerations and advantages will not be described. The following is a one-dimensional measurement optical architecture. The measurement data is used to prove the effectiveness and feasibility of the present invention. The eye is read "» 3 g", and the numerical simulation of the relationship between the gamma and the phase difference is expected. Let us recall the previously mentioned phase. Difference formula: Bu, which affects the phase difference The number is the diffraction order m, the line width d of the grating 410 and the grating 410 are moved & if the same diffraction order m is used and the same grating 410 is moved, the line width 4 of the grating 41〇 The sensitivity of the phase difference can be directly detected. If the line width d of the grating 41 is smaller, the more sensitive the displacement is, the "line 3" can be seen as the line width of the grating 410. (When 1 is 13,000 nanometers (nm), the measurement sensitivity is about 0.2227 nm, and the line width of the grating 410 (1 is 1 〇〇〇 nanometer, the measurement sensitivity is about 2. 88. / nm If the line width d of the grating 410 is 600 nm, the measurement sensitivity is about 4.8. /·. On the other hand, if the minimum phase amount that can be resolved is 〇·〇Γ as the evaluation standard, when the line distance of the grating 41〇 is 13000 nm, the minimum displacement that can be measured is 4·5χι〇_2 nm. When the line width d of the grating 410 is 600 nm, the smallest amount that can be measured is 2·1×10 nm. Therefore, the line width d of the light peach 410 is very accurate in the measurement. If a higher accuracy measurement is to be used, a small line 17 1270663 is used. Please refer to 1 first, "jin is not the phase error amount 为本 relative t shift error amount of the invention _, when the optical system produces her measurement error% such as polarization, the second harmonic error or The phase calculation error, etc., also has a certain degree of influence on the displacement measurement. It can be seen from "Fig. 4" that the phase error amount is °. Change to G·1. When the line width of the grating is 6-00 nm, the displacement error is 〇〇21 nm, and when the line width of the optical thumb is 1 〇〇〇 nanometer, the displacement error is 〇. 〇35 When the line width of the nano-light thumb is 13000 nm, the displacement error amount is 〇451 nm, so when the line-of-sight of the grating 410 is below the surface nanometer and the phase error is in, the system can be ensured. With the smallest measurement error, the displacement resolution of Wei with sub-nano grade can be measured. Referring to Figure 5, the numerical simulation of the phase and displacement quantities of the present invention is shown, which shows the maximum measurement distance that can be measured without using the phase extension technique (this station unwrapping). When the line width of the grating 410 is 13000 nm as seen in "Fig. 5", the maximum displacement 1 that can be measured is 3250 nm, and the line width of the grating 410 is 1 〇〇〇 nm and 6 At the time of 〇〇 nanometer, the maximum displacements that can be measured are 250 nm and 150 nm, respectively. It can be seen that the measurement cycle of the system is about one quarter of the line width of the grating 410. The 17th tea reading "Di 6 6 图 图" and "弟弟 7图" is shown as the actual 18 1270663 measurement data of the present invention. This measurement is a grating 410 using a grating 410 having a line width of 40,000 nm. The "β-graph" is the measured displacement result. The initial value of the system measurement is measured from 111.98 nm. The final measured value is 587. 678 nm, so the actual displacement value is 475.698 nm, in order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, we use the industry's long-term displacement measuring instrument: Hewlett-Packard (HP) company's ΗΡ5528Α interferometer, hereinafter referred to as ΗΡ5528Α, we also use ΗΡ5528Α to measure simultaneously. The measured value is 495 nm, and the measurement results are close. In addition, the minimum displacement value at the five circles in the figure is 〇·4 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, depending on the increase of the phase amount of the coordinate axis. 10 nm and 4 nm, compared to the book 552 can only measure the amount of change greater than 1 〇 nanometer, so our measurement accuracy is one level higher than ΗΡ5528Α. The 7th circle indicates that the line width of the grating 41〇 is 4〇〇〇〇N, and the displacement measured is 18_nm*, which is divided into three measurements because 18000 nm has exceeded one. The displacement period, because the phase corresponding to each displacement period is degree, so when the phase exceeds the fineness, it will start again from the enthalpy. Therefore, the system has a step difference, and the measurement result of this part is measured. Three measurements, so there will be three data, the final measurement results are as follows: 19 1270663 The measurement results of the invention HP5528A measurement results Experiment 1 17. 754 17.8 The inspection 2 18.462 18.5 The inspection 3 17.514 17.8 Therefore 'the invention The quasi-common optical path heterodyne interference displacement measurement system can be known through numerical simulation and actual experimental results that the measurement accuracy and allowable error are related to the line spacing width of the grating 410. If a smaller line spacing width can be used, The optical structure of the present invention also has a high environmental variation, and therefore the measurement error is small; and the present invention measures the phase, so the displacement produces a discontinuous change in phase, but the phase is matched. Extension technique, the mobile can measure the amount of displacement of the large distance. Therefore, the quasi-common optical path heterodyne interference displacement measuring system of the invention has the measurement sensitivity of the sub-nano to picometer level, the measurement range of the micrometer to the nanometer level, and can be quickly measured, and the optical architecture is simple and easy to mold. The grouped design, in addition, is not susceptible to external environmental disturbances.
