Traditional measurement techniques are limited by precision and environmental adaptability, and it is difficult to meet the stringent requirements of modern industry for measurements at the nanometer or even sub-nanometer level. As a high-precision measurement device, the Kerr interferometer has certain applications in length measurement. However, in a complex environment, the measurement results are easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature, air pressure, and humidity, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy. Moreover, its phase shifter will generate phase shift errors during long-term operation or environmental changes, further affecting the measurement accuracy.
