Abstract

The invention relates to a light path balanced type high-speed and high-resolution laser heterodyne interference measurement method and a light path balanced type high-speed and high-resolution laser heterodyne interference measurement device, belonging to the technical field of laser application. The invention adopts reference light and measurement light which are spatially separated from each other, and a light path balance design is carried out; meanwhile, the method generates two interference measurement signals with opposite Doppler frequency shifts, and selectively uses the two measurement signals for carrying out interference measurement according to the movement direction and speed of a measured target. The method and the device provided by invention not only reduce the influence of temperature change on the measurement, but also eliminate the frequency aliasing phenomenon in an interferometer, thus improving the measurement accuracy of heterodyne interference measurement; and furthermore, the problem of the limitation of laser source frequency difference to the measurement speed can be solved.
