Description

Double-frequency laser alignment measurement method and alignment measurement interferometer thereof
The invention belongs to the Technology of Precision Measurement field, particularly adopt precision measurement method and the surveying instrument thereof of dual-frequency laser interference technique in large scale, on a large scale.
At present, along with updating and improve of measuring technique, to measuring instrument in large scale, the application power of high-acruracy survey aspect requires more and more higher, the double-frequency zeeman laser interferometer adopts the heterodyne measurement technology, the interference of having avoided direct current measurement to be vulnerable to, have in use that range is big, precision is high, good stability, the characteristics that antijamming capability is strong.Utilize two-frequency laser interferometer, be equipped with suitable measurement annex and form measuring system, can realize to length, linearity, flatness, angle, etc. carry out precision measurement.But in actual applications, during particularly long distance is measured on a large scale, for the shake and the drift of collimated light beam, the influence of air disturbance does not also solve well etc. problem, in addition, this class surveying instrument generally can only be used as continuous coverage, does not fit into the occasion of discontinuous measurement.For example, U.S. Hewlett-Packard Corporation adopts the Zeeman interferometer to be equipped with suitable annex can to carry out the measurement of linearity.Its straight line degree measurement annex as shown in Figure 1, by quarter wave plate, neutral Amici prism 2, wollaston prism 3, plane mirror 4 constitutes.Wherein, wollaston prism or plane mirror and measured object are fixed together.Its measuring principle is as follows: produced by zeeman laser and revolve two kinds of polarized lights about a branch of, become a branch of two kinds of linearly polarized lights that contain quadrature through quarter wave plate, through neutral Amici prism 1, arrive wollaston prism 2 and be divided into two bundles that certain angle is arranged, its frequency is respectively f 1And f 2, directive plane mirror 3.Plane mirror 3 constitutes two level crossings of certain angle and forms by linking together, its angle matches with the angle that wollaston prism separates light beam, on two-beam difference normal incidence to two level crossing, and return the Wollaston mirror by former direction, because vertical moving arranged between wollaston prism and the level crossing, make two light beams form optical path difference, produce the frequency change of beat signal, and receive by photelectric receiver through Amici prism.Because on two different reflecting bodys of two-beam directive that such scheme requires to separate from wollaston prism, only in this way, light beam could direction on request return, therefore, the distance that separate at the center of two-beam must be greater than spot diameter, two-beam is separated fully, otherwise can cause the noise of measuring-signal, even can't work.In actual use, when measurement reach 3 meters far away apart from the time, it is far away that the two-beam spacing is approximately 80mm.Yet prove that according to theory and practice when the distance of two-beam surpassed 10mm, the characteristics of the disturbance that they are subjected to were to add up independently, can not cancel out each other, its optical path difference will change with atmospheric disturbance.The atmospheric disturbance problem is the problem that this measurement scheme is difficult to overcome.In addition, this measuring method adopts digital subtractor demodulation two-frequency signal, promptly adopts frequency counting to draw displacement.The mistake meter appears in (as wollaston prism is shifted out light path, when surveying right alignment prism is moved on to another hole from a hole, surface measurements is discontinuous etc.) counter when measuring-signal disappears for a certain reason, can not reappear former counting.Thereby this technical scheme can only carry out continuous coverage, can not intermittently measure.This is the another weak point of this scheme, and this also is a unsolved major issue in the current practical application.
The objective of the invention is to overcome the weak point of above-mentioned prior art, propose a kind of new double-frequency laser alignment measurement method and device thereof, eliminate the influence of air turbulence, improve measuring accuracy and measurement stability measuring.Not only can carry out continuous coverage, also can intermittently measure.
Basic composition of the present invention comprises two-frequency laser, spectroscope, and two groups of birefringence beam splitters, reflecting body, photelectric receiver, the detecting signal unit each several part, its alignment measurement method comprises following each step:
1, sends a branch of light that contains two kinds of frequencies, two kinds of polarization directions by said two-frequency laser;
2, this light beam separated into two parts light behind said spectroscope, first's light is received by first photelectric receiver; Become reference signal;
3, after second portion light was injected first group of birefringence beam splitter, this had the light of two kinds of frequencies, two kinds of polarization directions to be divided into to accompany a low-angle two-beam; Again through becoming two parallel bundle polarized lights behind second group of birefringence beam splitter;
4, directive one reflecting body simultaneously of the two-beam in the third step, and return by former road, behind said two groups of birefringence beam splitters, receive again by second photelectric receiver, become measuring-signal;
5, said detecting signal unit is made of analyzer and phasometer, and said reference signal is sent into phasometer with measuring-signal through analyzer and carried out bit comparison mutually, obtains the displacement of measured object.
In the such scheme, two groups of birefringence beam splitters can adopt two group optically-active wedges, or two groups of wollaston prisms, and when selecting wollaston prism for use, the double-frequency laser bundle is a linearly polarized light beam.Single reflecting body can be selected right-angle prism for use, right-angle tetrahedron or opal lens combination, and measured object can be fixed together with one group of birefringence beam splitter wherein, also can fix with single reflecting body.
The present invention adopts and measures traversing amount than phase method, can keep the resolution of prior art under the condition of little splitting angle.In 50 meters measurement ranges, it is straight through (hot spot 8mm-10mm for example, and two beam separations are 4mm, in fact two light beams do not separate) that the centre distances of two relevant light beams are no more than hot spot, preferably resolves the problem that air disturbs in the prior art like this.(two-beam can be thought and is in the identical atmospheric environment, air disturbs and can cancel out each other) in addition, adopt than facies principle, make the present invention can carry out continuous coverage, also can intermittently measure, solve in the engineering the coaxality measurement in many groups axle, hole and the measurement of planeness problem of noncontinuous surface.
