The application belongs to the field of
laser ranging, and particularly relates to an absolute
distance measurement method and device based on time
delay interference, which comprises the following steps: introducing an arbitrary
light source, first injecting a
frequency modulation signal into the
light source to prepare a frequency period
jitter modulation note, then splitting the light with period
jitter and injecting different frequencies, which are used to form
heterodyne interference, one of the lights is used as reference light, the other light is processed twice by time
delay, the reference light and the light processed by time
delay are combined to realize twice
heterodyne interference, and the first time delay
processing contains distance information to be measured. The application uses the frequency period
jitter modulation note of
heterodyne interference light, combines the time delay interference method, calculates the time
delay time, and calculates the absolute distance information contained in the time
delay time, realizes low-cost and large-scale absolute
distance measurement, and realizes the time delay interference
algorithm, and the
ranging reliability is high.
