The world's first laser was successfully developed by Maiman, a scientist at Hughes Aircraft Company in the United States in 1960. This achievement laid the foundation for the application of laser technology in various fields. With the continuous development of lasers, its application scope is becoming increasingly wide. In the field of measurement, laser technology is used to manufacture high-precision measuring instruments, such as laser rulers, laser interferometers, etc.

It is not possible to increase the precision design well, and it is not possible to reduce the impact of design errors on measurement accuracy. The replacement of the lens is also relatively inconvenient. As a whole, the lens of the laser scale may undergo slight displacement during operation, thereby changing the optical path of the laser beam.
