Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of laser interference displacement precision measurement, and in particular relates to a nanometer displacement real-time measurement system based on laser polarization interference, and also relates to a nanometer displacement real-time measurement method based on laser polarization interference. Background Art
[0002] At present, in my country's high-precision fields such as modern mechanical processing, bioengineering, nanoscience and technology, and advanced optical devices, the requirements for precision measurement are gradually transitioning from micrometer level to nanometer level and even sub-nanometer level. Laser interferometer has become an important means of precision measurement due to its inherent stability and smallness.
[0003] Based on the principle of laser interference, people invented single-frequency laser interferometers such as Michelson interferometer and Mach-Zehnder interferometer for high-precision micro-displacement measurement, which have been widely used in the field of precision measurement. However, due to the poor stability of single-frequency laser light sources, the difficulty in eliminating interference signal errors, and the problem of inability to distinguish the direction of measured displacement, the improvement of the resolution of laser interferometry technology has been greatly restricted. In 1970, HP invented the dual-frequency laser measurement system. The dual-frequency laser interferometer uses the Doppler effect and beat frequency phenomenon to calculate the displacement information of the object being measured. It has the advantages of stable measurement, strong anti-interference ability, and high resolution. However, the optical path of the dual-frequency laser measurement system is very complex and the cost is relatively high.
[0004] In addition to the above two types of interference, two beams of circularly polarized light of the same frequency can also interfere, but the interference result is different from the above two types of interference. It has neither interference pattern nor beat frequency signal, but is reflected in the polarization state. Through quantitative measurement of the polarization state, the phase relationship between the two beams of light can be obtained, and the resolution at the nanometer or even sub-nanometer level can be achieved. The displacement measurement system based on circularly polarized light interference can, on the one hand, solve the dilemma that a single-frequency interferometer cannot distinguish the back and forth vibration of the measured object, and has practical value; on the other hand, circularly polarized light interference can use a single-frequency laser, which greatly reduces the cost compared to the dual-frequency laser interference system. So far, there has been no report on the development of a complete system based on circular polarization interferometry technology in China. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides a real-time measurement system for nano-displacement based on laser polarization interferometry, and also provides a real-time measurement method for nano-displacement based on laser polarization interferometry, aiming to solve the problems that single-frequency laser interferometers cannot distinguish directions and dual-frequency laser interferometers have complex optical paths and high costs, thereby improving measurement accuracy and practicability.
[0006] The above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

The other beam passes through the second polarizing beam splitter prism and is divided into reflected S light and transmitted P light. The reflected S light and the transmitted P light are incident on the second photodetector and the third photodetector respectively. The first photodetector, the second photodetector and the third photodetector input the collected electrical signals into the data acquisition card, which collects the signals, performs analog-to-digital conversion and transmits them to the host computer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0052] Example
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the nano-displacement real-time measurement system based on laser polarization interference includes an interference optical path system and a signal acquisition and processing system. The interference optical path system includes an infrared laser 1, a first polarizer 2, a variable aperture 3, a first polarization beam splitter prism 4, a first 1 / 4 wave plate 5, a movable plane reflector 6, a second 1 / 4 wave plate 7, a fixed plane reflector 8, and a third 1 / 4 wave plate 9. The signal acquisition and processing system includes a depolarization beam splitter prism 10, a second polarizer 11, a first photodetector 12, a second polarization beam splitter prism 13, a second photodetector 14, a third silicon photocell 15, a data acquisition card 16, and a host computer 18.
[0054] During operation, the light beam emitted by the infrared laser 1 becomes linearly polarized light after passing through the first polarizer 2, and the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light forms an angle of 45° with the horizontal direction. The linearly polarized light passes through the variable aperture 3 to adjust the beam diameter, and is incident on the first polarization beam splitter prism 4, where it is decomposed into two linearly polarized lights P and S with equal energy and perpendicular directions. The S light reflected by the first polarization beam splitter prism 4 becomes left-handed circularly polarized light after passing through the first 1 / 4 wave plate 5, and then becomes right-handed circularly polarized light after being reflected by the movable plane reflector 6, and then becomes P light after passing through the first 1 / 4 wave plate 5 again, and returns to the first polarization beam splitter prism 4. The transmitted P light becomes right-handed circularly polarized light after passing through the second 1 / 4 wave plate 7, and then becomes right-handed circularly polarized light after being reflected by the fixed plane reflector 8, and then becomes S light after passing through the second 1 / 4 wave plate 7 again, and returns to the first polarization beam splitter prism 4. The S light that returns to the first polarization splitter prism 4 and is reflected and the P light that returns to the first polarization splitter prism 4 and is transmitted pass through the third 1 / 4 wave plate 9 to generate right-handed circularly polarized light and left-handed circularly polarized light again and interfere to generate linearly polarized light.
[0055] The linearly polarized light generated by interference is split into two light beams with equal energy by a depolarizing beam splitter prism 10. One beam passes through a second polarizer 11 which forms an angle of 45° with its polarization direction and enters a first photodetector 12. The other beam passes through a second polarizing beam splitter prism 13 and is split into two beams, namely, reflected S light and transmitted P light. The reflected S light and the transmitted P light are incident on a second photodetector 14 and a third photodetector 15, respectively.
[0056] The signal I of the first photodetector 12 is obtained D1 , the signal I of the second photodetector 14 D2 , the signal I of the third photodetector 15 D3 It can be expressed as:
[0057]
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] In formulas (1)-(3), E is the total light intensity amplitude of the interference between the right-handed circularly polarized light and the left-handed circularly polarized light generated after passing through the third quarter wave plate 9, is the phase difference between right-handed circularly polarized light and left-handed circularly polarized light. D1 ,I D2 ,I D3 After being transmitted to the host computer 18 through the data acquisition card 16, a two-to-two differential operation can be performed to obtain a sinusoidal signal I D1-D2 and cosine signal I D2-D3 :
[0061]
[0062]
[0063] Where φ is the phase to be measured, and Sinusoidal signal I D1-D2 and cosine signal I D2-D3 The Lissajous figure is obtained in the host computer 18. In the experiment, due to the interference of environmental vibration noise, circuit noise, unstable laser light source and optical component manufacturing process, the actual sine signal I D1-D2 and cosine signal I D2-D3 There will be three errors: unequal amplitude error, non-orthogonal error and DC level drift error, which will cause the actual output sinusoidal signal I D1-D2 and cosine signal I D2-D3 It is not an orthogonal signal. D1-D2 and I D2-D3 The corresponding actual sine signal and cosine signal are represented by I y and I x It is expressed as: Where a and b are the amplitudes of the AC components, a≠b is the unequal amplitude error; σ is the sinusoidal signal I y and cosine signal I x The phase difference between them, when σ≠90°, it represents the existence of non-orthogonal error; h and k are the magnitudes of the DC components, that is, the DC level drift error.
[0064] In order to obtain the information of the phase φ to be measured, the present invention first uses the least squares elliptic error correction algorithm to correct the error, and converts the actual signal I x and signal I y Simplifying and eliminating the common term φ yields: and the general form of the ellipse equation x 2 +Bxy+Cy 2 +Dx+Ey+F=0, we can get the expressions of error correction parameters h, k, a, b, σ:
[0065]
[0066] The optimal ellipse parameters B, C, D, E, and F are obtained by solving the following linear equations:
[0067]
[0068] Among them, x i and i Signal I x and signal I yAt the data corresponding to the i-th sampling time point, the obtained ellipse optimal parameters B, C, D, E, F are substituted into formula (6) to obtain the error correction parameters h, k, a, b, σ, as follows: Figure 2 Shown are the dynamic measurement results of the error correction parameters h, k, a, b, σ, where N is the number of subdivisions of the Lissajous circle.
[0069] According to the measured error correction parameters h, k, a, b, σ, the actual signal I x and signal I y After error correction, the two signals obtained are orthogonal to each other, and I′ x and I′ y express: Taking the wavelength λ of the laser used as the scale, when the signal changes a complete Lissajous circle, the change △x of the displacement of the movable plane reflector 6 is a complete wavelength λ=650nm. In order to further improve the accuracy of the instrument, the present invention further uses the tangent lookup table subdivision algorithm to subdivide the phase, and according to the error-corrected signal I′ x and I′ y Generate a Lissajous circle and subdivide it into N = 1024 parts. The subdivision number corresponding to the phase φ to be measured is S N Indicates that To solve the subdivision number S corresponding to the phase φ to be measured N , divide the four quadrants of the Lissajous circle into 8 equal intervals, namely the first interval Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Section 7 and Section 8 According to the error-corrected signal I′ x and I′ y The positive or negative value determines the quadrant m where the phase φ to be measured is located, and m = 1, 2, 3, 4 are the quadrant values. If the phase φ to be measured is not in the first quadrant, the phase φ to be measured is converted to φ′ in the first quadrant, where Then, according to the error-corrected orthogonal signal I′ x and I′ y The absolute value of the value determines the interval of the quadrant where the phase φ to be measured is located: for the 1st to 8th interval, the subdivision number S N The calculation formula is S N1 , in according to The phase φ to be measured is calculated, and the displacement △x of the movable plane reflector 6 is obtained based on the following formula: The theoretical displacement resolution of this method is 0.63nm.
[0070] Displacement direction identification is realized on the basis of the above demodulation subdivision. The above process converts the error-corrected signal I′ x and signal I′ y Divided into 8 intervals. When the movable plane reflector 6 moves forward, the interval corresponding to the Lissajous circle of the signal changes according to the rule of 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-1, mainly in ascending order; when the movable plane reflector 6 moves backward, the interval corresponding to the Lissajous figure of the signal changes according to the rule of 4-3-2-1-8-7-6-5-4, mainly in descending order. Assume that the Lissajous figure of the signal changes continuously for z (z≤8) intervals, starting from the zth interval forward, subtract the interval number of the previous interval from the interval number of the next interval to obtain △z, and judge the displacement direction according to the positive or negative value of △z: However, there are two exceptions: (1) the z intervals of change include the change from the first interval to the eighth interval; (2) the z intervals of change include the change from the eighth interval to the first interval. The improved judgment method is: According to the above conditions, the displacement is determined to be forward or reverse. Figure 3 Shown is a complete flow chart of detailed decomposition and displacement orientation identification.
[0071] like Figure 4 The figure shows the LabVIEW front panel of the host computer. In the above measurement system, the drawing of Lissajous figures before and after correction, the error correction algorithm based on the least squares method, the demodulation subdivision algorithm based on the tangent lookup table algorithm, the displacement calculation, direction identification and real-time display are all completed based on the LabVIEW virtual instrument platform.
[0072] like Figure 5 It is shown that the minimum displacement in the environmental noise detected by the present invention. In the actual measurement process, the minimum displacement resolution caused by the present invention in the presence of environmental interference is 15.869nm, which proves that the experimental resolution of the present invention should be better than 15.869nm.
[0073] like Figure 6 The figure shows the static stability test of the system of the present invention. The displacement change of the above-mentioned measurement system over a period of time is in a stable state, which can prove the stability and reliability of the present invention.
[0074] The signal acquisition and processing system (10-16, 18) is replaced by a commercial polarimeter 17, and the change in the azimuth angle △α of the linear polarized light formed by the interference of the right-handed circularly polarized light and the left-handed circularly polarized light is directly measured by the polarimeter 17. The relationship between △α and the displacement change △x of the movable reflector 6 is: The results show that in the process of measuring random noise, the minimum displacement resolution obtained by the commercial polarimeter is 10.219 nm. The comparison proves that the minimum resolution of the present invention is comparable to that of the commercial polarization analyzer, and has the advantages of high stability and low cost.
[0075] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
