Abstract

The invention discloses a laser self-mixing grating interferometer and a measuring method thereof. The interferometer includes a laser, a diffraction grating, a plane mirror, a photoelectric detector, an electrical signal processing system, and a data acquisition and analysis system; the diffraction grating is placed on the output optical path of the laser, and its displacement direction is perpendicular to the output optical path of the laser; The laser beam is vertically incident on the diffraction grating, and various levels of diffracted light are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the incident light path. The plane reflector is set on the optical path of a certain m-order diffracted light, so that the mth (m≠0) order diffracted light is incident vertically. It returns to the plane mirror and returns along the original optical path, and then enters the diffraction grating again for secondary diffraction. The secondary diffracted light carries the grating displacement information and returns to the laser cavity along the opposite direction of the laser output light to generate self-mixing interference with the light in the cavity. The invention has the advantages of simple and compact structure, low cost, strong anti-interference ability, no need to control optical feedback level, automatic recognition of displacement direction and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of precision displacement measurement, and in particular relates to a laser self-mixing grating interferometer for measuring tiny displacements and a measurement method thereof. Background technique [0002] Laser interferometer is based on the method of optical interference, using the wavelength of light as the measuring ruler. It is an important tool for precision displacement measurement in the fields of science, engineering and industry. However, many interferometers on the market are complex and costly, and are large and expensive instruments. For example, the 5529A dual-frequency interferometer of Agilent Company of the United States. Laser self-mixing interference technology is a new type of interferometry technology with high application value that has emerged in recent years. This technology uses part of the laser light reflected or scattered by the measured object to recouple into the laser resonat...
