The invention discloses a high-precision right-angle detection device and a high-precision right-angle detection method, which are characterized in that
laser is reflected by adopting two right-angle surfaces of an original to be detected, and the first-order
Doppler effect of incident
laser and emergent
laser is calculated by measuring
ion spectrums of metastable-state
lithium ions by using the incident laser and the emergent laser; according to the method, the incident laser and the emergent laser are incident, then the included angle between the incident laser and the emergent laser is reversely deduced through the first-order
Doppler effect, and finally the right angle of the to-be-measured original part is obtained through calculation, and the angle
measurement precision can be improved to be within 0.01 arc second and reach or even exceed 10 <-8 >
radian; according to the invention, the
ion transition
spectral line frequency is used as a reference, and is a natural and stable reference source, regular calibration is not needed, an atomic transition
spectral line or a molecular transition
spectral line can also be used as a reference, the available ions, atoms, molecules and corresponding spectral lines are numerous, the
wavelength coverage range is wide, and diversified choices can be realized.
