TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sensors, and particularly relates to a micro displacement measurement system and method based on a reflective sphere F-P cavity. BACKGROUND
[0002] Length, as one of the seven basic physical units, with the increasing cognition and exploration of the world by human beings, the accurate measurement and metrology technology thereof plays an important role in many frontier fields such as aerospace technology, nanometer (nm) scale measurement, material science research, ultra-precision manufacturing process, biological exploration and microelectronic industry. In addition, the accurate measurement of length also plays a fundamental supporting role in high-end equipment manufacturing quality and plays a decisive role in the whole manufacturing process. Therefore, the construction of nanometer level measurement standard is a key and basic challenge in the field of metrology science to promote the development of nanotechnology. In the nanometer measurement technology, the resolution of 100 nanometers to 0.1 nanometer can be realized, which provides key technical support for many high-precision and high-resolution requirements and constitutes an important cornerstone of nanotechnology research.
[0003] At present, the method for nanometer level measurement can be divided into non-optical type and optical type. The non-optical type mainly includes capacitive sensor, inductive sensor and scanning probe microscope, etc. This kind of method has the advantages of high resolution, low power consumption, good temperature stability, etc. However, the measurement range of this kind of method is small, only tens of nanometers to micrometers (μm) order of magnitude, which is mainly used for short distance micro displacement measurement. In comparison, the optical method has the advantages of high precision, high resolution, small volume, strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability, non-contact measurement, traceability, etc., and shows more extensive application potential. The optical method mainly includes Michelson interferometer, grating interferometer and Fabry-Perot (F-P) interferometer. The structures of Michelson and grating interferometers both have independent reference arms and measurement arms, and high-precision micro displacement measurement (nm or sub-nm level) is realized by measuring the difference between the two light paths, which requires the stability of the reference optical path to reach nm or sub-nm level. The F-P interferometer cancels the independent reference arm and integrates the reference light path into the measurement system, effectively avoiding the influence of the instability of the reference arm on the measurement result. However, in the existing micro displacement measurement method based on F-P cavity, there is multiple reflection phenomenon in the F-P cavity, forming multiple beam interference, which leads to the introduction of non-linear error in the ranging system. In addition, the F-P cavity is usually composed of two parallel placed reflective film layers, and the parallelism of the two reflective surfaces is required to be high in the actual installation process, which increases the application difficulty.

[0021] The processor brings the two-way direct current signals A0 and B0 into the formula Wherein, φ1 is the initial phase of the light field when the reflecting sphere is not moved, and arccos is the inverse trigonometric function of the cosine function.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a method for measuring micro-displacement using a micro-displacement measurement system based on a reflective sphere FP cavity, comprising:
[0040] Step 1: open the radio frequency source 7, output frequency modulation signal f0, when the laser 1 output wavelength is located at different positions of acetylene gas absorption cell absorption peak, the phase of feedback signal is 180°, as shown in Figure 3 , demodulator 6 by judging the phase of the feedback signal to identify the output wavelength of the laser 1, thereby controlling the output current of the driving current source 8, and then feedback control the output wavelength of the laser 1, finally the stability of the wavelength is accurately controlled, so that it can be stabilized output;
[0041] Step 2: record the center wavelength of the laser 1 output laser as λ0, due to the influence of wavelength modulation, the phase change caused by the change of wavelength is sinusoidal, which is expressed as: Δφ(t) = φ0+ ΔφsinΩt, wherein, φ0 = 2nΔL·2π / λ0, φ0 represents the additional phase introduced by the center wavelength.

[0043] Step 4: about 96% of the space transmission light emitted by the laser collimator 10 is incident on the surface of the reflecting ball 12 through the beam expander lens 11, the reflecting ball 12 is placed on the piezoelectric nanometer positioning table, and then the light field returns to the end face of the laser collimator 10, this part of the light field is recorded as measurement light field, the reference light field and the measurement light field interfere at the end face of the laser collimator 10, and the interference light field returns to the second port of the circulator 9 and is output from the third port of the circulator 9;
[0044] Step 5: the photoelectric detector 15 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and the frequency components of the electrical signal are f0 and 2f0;
[0045] Step 6: the second frequency f0 signal output by the radio frequency source 7 is used as the local oscillator input signal of the first frequency mixer 19, and the third frequency 2f0 signal output by the radio frequency source 7 is used as the local oscillator input signal of the second frequency mixer 20;
[0046] Step 7: set the moving parameters of the piezoelectric nanometer positioning table, so that the reflecting ball 12 vibrates with a peak-to-peak value of 50 nm;
[0047] Step 8: Only the signal with the same frequency as the local oscillator signal f0 can be mixed to a direct current signal in the first mixer 19, and the direct current signal is transmitted to the first low pass filter 21. After filtering the sum frequency signal, the signal is recorded as A0;

[0051] Step 12: Set the reflecting sphere 12 to move a fixed distance, and the moving distance is recorded as ΔL;
[0052] Step 13: After the reflecting sphere 12 moves, the output signal of the first low pass filter 21 is recorded as A1, and the output signal of the second low pass filter 22 is recorded as B2;
[0053] Step 14: The processor 23 brings the two direct current signals A1 and B2 after the reflecting sphere 12 moves into the following formula Where φ1 is the phase of the optical field after the reflecting sphere moves;
[0054] Step 15: The processor 23 takes the difference between φ0 and φ1 to obtain Δφ L = φ1-φ0, where Δφ L is the change amount of the optical field phase before and after the reflecting sphere 12 moves;
[0055] Step 16: The processor 23 brings Δφ L into the following formula to obtain the measured micro displacement parameter ΔL, and the result is shown in Figure 3 (a). The high and low steps of each complete square wave are averaged with the same number of steps to obtain the result shown by the white dots in Figure 3 (b). The difference between adjacent values is obtained to obtain 18 groups of displacement values, as shown in Figure 3 (c). The average of the 18 groups of values is taken to obtain the final micro displacement value measured by the system as 53 nm.

[0062] 6. Since the low-precision F-P cavity avoids the influence of nonlinear error, the device has the characteristics of high measurement precision and high sensitivity;
[0063] 7. In the quadrature demodulation algorithm, the amplitudes of the two quadrature signals change completely equally with the distance, which can meet the measurement precision in a large working range.
[0064] 8. Through monitoring the output quadrature signals of the system, real-time display and real-time measurement can be realized.
[0065] The present application can solve the problem of multi-beam interference caused by the high reflectivity of the two reflecting surfaces of the F-P cavity in the prior art, which causes measurement error. The technical solution provided by the present application improves the measurement precision and sensitivity by using the design of the reflecting sphere, and can meet the high-precision nanometer-level micro-displacement measurement in a large working range.
