A measurement apparatus (10) for determining the position of a component (226) in a
system (200) comprises a
radiation generator (24) that is configured to generate a measurement
radiation (22e) with at least two discrete
radiation frequencies (36; 136) that are selected comb frequencies (38) of a
frequency comb structure (37), wherein the
frequency comb structure is defined by at least two comb parameters, of which the first comb parameter comprises a uniform frequency spacing (42) between the comb frequencies and the second comb parameter comprises a
frequency offset of the
frequency comb structure from a reference frequency, an optical
resonator (16) that comprises
resonator frequencies (17) and a measurement target (14) assigned to the component and is configured to carry out a
distance measurement by irradiating the measurement target with the measurement radiation, and a
coupling module (32) that is configured to couple the at least two discrete radiation frequencies to two of the
resonator frequencies and, for this purpose, comprises a radiation
detector (50) for detecting a radiation sample (22r) of the measurement radiation, said radiation sample having been branched off from the optical resonator, and a control device (54), wherein the control device (54) is configured to generate a
control signal (56) for the radiation generator from the radiation sample detected by the radiation
detector, said
control signal comprising a specification (42v) for at least one of the comb parameters.
