The invention discloses a real-time absolute
ranging method and
system based on single-chamber dual-
femtosecond optical comb cross-
correlation analysis. The method comprises steps: S1, two simultaneously-outputted
femtosecond optical combs with different repetition frequencies are generated, the two different repetition frequencies are fr1 and fr2, and the repetition frequencies are locked to an
atomic clock by
frequency stabilization control; S2, after the beam of the two
femtosecond optical combs passes through an interferometer
optical path module, the orthogonal polarization components ofoptical comb pulse return light (reference light and measurement light) and local
optical comb pulses are measured, and after combination, two groups of femtosecond
laser pulse pairs with mutually-
perpendicular polarization directions are generated; S3, two-path optical balance cross-correlation signals for reference and measurement are generated, and the signales can be generated by a femtosecondpulse cross-
correlation analysis unit in the embodiment of the invention; and S4, the balance cross-correlation signals are subjected to high-speed
digital signal analysis
processing to obtain a
ranging result. The
system is the device used for executing the above method. The method and the
system disclosed in the invention have the advantages of large
ranging range, fast updating speed, high measuring precision and simple operation and the like.
