Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an interferometer and an interference detection method thereof, in particular to an air refractive index self-correcting three-frequency laser interferometer and an interference detection method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The basic principle of the laser interferometer is to obtain the optical path difference between the target positions of the measured mirror and the reference mirror through the interference of laser, which is the sum of the optical path difference introduced by the measurement path and the wavefront aberration of the measured mirror, and the optical path difference introduced by the measurement path can be directly obtained by multiplying the refractive index by the physical distance of the measurement path.

[0003] In an ideal state, the refractive index is only related to the wavelength and is independent of the spatial position; therefore, the refractive index is a constant value, which can be obtained by calibration, and the physical distance of the measurement path can also be obtained by calibration, so that the optical path difference obtained by the interferometer can directly reflect the wavefront aberration of the measured mirror.

[0004] However, in actual situations, especially in large-aperture optical systems, the mirror aperture of the measured mirror is large, the measurement path is long, and the refractive index is no longer a constant value and changes constantly, so that the refractive index is also related to the spatial environment in the large-aperture optical system, resulting in that the wavefront aberration detection of the large-aperture optical system becomes a major problem to be solved in optical detection.

[0005] The existing detection methods mainly include the following:

[0006] 1) By using a fan array to accelerate air circulation to make the air more uniform, and then using a multiple measurement averaging method to obtain the wavefront aberration, this method is time-consuming and can only be implemented under good environmental control, and the test precision is low and cannot accurately reflect the measured wavefront aberration.

[0007] 2) The measured optical system is placed in a vacuum tank (low pressure tank) to completely eliminate the influence of the change of air refractive index, but this method is costly, the operation process is complex, and it is difficult to debug.

[0008] 3) A dual-frequency laser is used to detect the wavefront aberration, and only the dryness of the test environment air needs to be ensured, so that the air refractive index can be self-corrected, and in the case of not too high cost (compared with the vacuum tank and the low pressure tank), the high efficiency and high precision wavefront aberration detection of the large-aperture optical system can be realized. However, the dryness of the test environment air is still a big limitation, and the air that is not dry enough will still cause a large offset to the wavefront detection of the large-aperture optical system. When the air humidity is 10%, the ratio of the wavefront aberration test error to the wavelength after correction by the dual-frequency laser is as shown in the following table, and the correction will bring a large offset error. Figure 1 SUMMARY ​

[0064] If A 1max -A 1min >A3 and / or A 2max -A 2min >A4, then return to step 5.2, otherwise output the final values ​​of the first correction factor A1 and the second correction factor A2;

[0065] Where 0<A3<10 -4 ,0<A4<10 -4 .

[0066] Furthermore, step 1 is specifically as follows:

[0067] The single-frequency laser assembly emits single-frequency reflected light and first single-frequency transmitted light;

[0068] The first second harmonic crystal doubles the frequency of a portion of the first-harmonic reflected light to obtain the second-harmonic reflected light;

[0099] OPD1(x, y) = n1(x, y) * d1(x, y) + n1(x, y) * d2(x, y);

[0100] OPD2(x, y) = n2(x, y) * d1(x, y) + n2(x, y) * d2(x, y);

[0142] W3=d2(x,y). / (d1(x,y)+d2(x,y)).*OPD3(x,y);

[0143] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the wavefront aberration test error corrected by the theoretical correction factor is close to the order of 10^-6 of the wavelength, which meets the requirements for precise measurement of wavefront aberrations in large-aperture optical systems. However, if there is an offset between the actual and theoretical values ​​of the wavelengths of the single-harmonic laser, double-harmonic laser, and quadruple-harmonic laser, or if the empirical refractive index formula used is not accurate enough, the theoretical correction factor will also have an error. At this time, the wavefront aberration test error will have a large offset, affecting the precise measurement of wavefront aberrations in large-aperture optical systems. Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the ratio of the wavefront aberration test error corrected by the correction factors A1 and A2 calculated by the method provided by the present invention to the wavelength. At this time, the order of magnitude of the wavefront aberration test error is on the order of 10^-5 of the wavelength, indicating the effectiveness of the method provided in this embodiment.
