Further illustrate the concrete measuring principle of laser distance measuring system of the present invention below by specific embodiment:
As shown in Fig. 1~4, the present invention is by the first corner reflector CR 1about the first spectroscope BS 1mirror Symmetry position be defined as in baseline BL(Fig. 1 shown in dot-and-dash line), the second corner reflector CR 2be measuring distance value to the distance L of baseline BL.In the time that L is greater than zero, from the first corner reflector CR 1with the second corner reflector CR 2τ is at certain time intervals deposited in the light pulse of returning, simultaneously will be through the first corner reflector CR 1the light pulse of returning is defined as reference arm light pulse (the hollow stick of fine line as shown in Figure 4), will be through the second corner reflector CR 2the light pulse of returning is defined as gage beam light pulse (the solid stick of heavy line as shown in Figure 4), will be through the second femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC 2the light pulse of sending is defined as local oscillation light pulse (the hollow stick of heavy line as shown in Figure 4).
Through the reference arm light pulse of Michelson interference system outgoing and gage beam light pulse with through the second spectroscope BS 2the local oscillation light pulse of transmission mixes, due to two poor existence of femtosecond laser frequency comb repetition, each pulse in each light pulse and reference arm light pulse in local oscillation light pulse and each pulse in gage beam light pulse all can be experienced respectively from being separated to close gradually, then stack, again gradually away from process, and every through one section of T update=T r1t r2Δ T rtime, said process can repeat once, and by the first photoelectric detector PD 1with the second photoelectric detector PD 2survey.The first femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC 1pulse interval interval can be expressed as T r1c, the aerial light velocity of c pulse, the second femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC 2pulse interval be spaced apart T r2c, for the convenience of follow-up data processing, the present invention is calculating seasonal R a1=T r1c/2, R a2=T r2c/2.
When measuring distance, L is less than R a1time, from the second corner reflector CR 2the light pulse meeting of returning is at the first corner reflector CR 1before the next pulse returning, arrive the first spectroscope BS 1, can not misplacing by pulsing, the distance L therefore measuring is actual distance value, and when measuring distance, L is greater than R a1time, from the second corner reflector CR 2the light pulse of returning may be at the first corner reflector CR 1after the next pulse returning, just arrive, thus pulsing dislocation, and the distance L now measuring is not actual distance value, needs cumulative upper R a1integral multiple can obtain actual range, below the concrete computation process of L is described in detail:
1) when measuring distance L is less than R a1time, the present invention is as follows to the signal processing of measuring distance L:
As shown in Figure 4, at each T updatein time, local oscillation light pulse respectively with reference arm light pulse and gage beam light pulse superposeed once (as shown in the dotted line frame in Fig. 4).For the first photoelectric detector PD 1the signal detecting, its centre wavelength is λ 1, corresponding centre frequency is ν 1.Known according to the theorem of the corresponding frequency domain phase shift of time domain translation, in the superposed signal of these two positions, frequency is ν 11phase delay (the ν of spectrum line 11centered by frequency ν 1near any spectrum line, its phase delay is (a) and (b) the spectrum line ν in position sensing signal in Fig. 4 11corresponding phase differential) Δ φ 1111) and reference arm light pulse and gage beam light pulse time delay τ between pass be:
Δφ 1111)=(2πτ)﹒ν 11 (1)
Can obtain twice optical pulse overlap by formula (1) time, the phase delay frequency corresponding with spectrum line of spectrum line is directly proportional, signal processing unit 2 by (a) position receiving and (b) interference light signal of position carry out Fourier transform, and the phase frequency spectrum of twice pulse overlap is done to difference operation, obtain the phase delay of different spectrum lines, the phase delay (φ that obtains a series of different light frequencies and answer in contrast 1i, ν 1i), i represents the sequence number of spectrum line, then some to (φ by what obtain 1i, ν 1i) carrying out fitting a straight line, the slope that obtains fitting a straight line is b 1(b 1=2 π τ), finally obtain tested distance L for (time delay τ correspondence light on measuring distance come and go):
L=cτ/2=b 1c/4π.(2)
In order further to improve measuring accuracy, can utilize the information of interferometric phase.First, for the signal detecting for the first photoelectric detector PD 1, the centre wavelength of interference light pulse is λ 1, central wavelength lambda 1corresponding interferometric phase Δ φ 1, according to principle of interference, light pulse central wavelength lambda 1at (a) of pulse overlap and (b) the interference phase difference Δ φ of position 1and the pass between tested distance L is:
L=(Δφ 1/2π+m 1)﹒λ 1/2 (3)
In formula, m 1that wavelength is λ 1integer level corresponding to the interference of light time (" several greatly "), be nonnegative integer.
Due to Δ φ 1can be according to formula (1) phase place that by (a) position and (b) interference light signal of position carries out Fourier transform subtract each other and obtain again.If therefore can accurately obtain m 1, can obtain accurate distance L, but conventionally will obtain m 1, be generally that the bigness scale distance value obtaining by formula (2) is removed with λ 1/ 2 rear rounds are asked.While rounding in order guaranteeing to calculate, not produce deviation, to need the bigness scale precision that meets L to be better than λ 1/ 4 condition, the criterion that in this and laser interferometry, precision is refined is step by step similar.In order to meet this condition, existing more conventional method is to carry out getting average to improve bigness scale precision after repeatedly bigness scale, is better than λ until the precision after average reaches 1when/4 condition, ask for again m 1but measuring speed reduces greatly.
For the second photoelectric detector PD 2the signal detecting, the centre wavelength of interference light pulse is λ 2, central wavelength lambda 2corresponding interferometric phase Δ φ 2, according to principle of interference, light pulse central wavelength lambda 2at (a) of pulse overlap and (b) the interference phase difference Δ φ of position 2and the pass between tested distance L is:
L=(Δφ 2/2π+m 2)﹒λ 2/2 (4)
In formula, m 2for wavelength is λ 2integer level corresponding to the interference of light time (" several greatly "), be nonnegative integer.By formula (3) and formula (4) simultaneous abbreviation, by formula (3) and λ 2the result multiplying each other deducts formula (4) and λ 1after the result multiplying each other, obtain:
L=(Δφ s/2π+m s)﹒λ s/2 (5)
In formula, λ s1λ 2/ (λ 21), be λ 1and λ 2composite wave wavelength; Δ φ s=Δ φ 1-Δ φ 2, be composite wave phase place; m sfor the integer level time (" several greatly ") of composite wave, it is nonnegative integer.Due to λ 1, λ 2, Δ φ 1with Δ φ 2be known, so composite wave wavelength X swith composite wave phase delta phi sall can calculate, if can obtain m accurately svalue, can obtain tested distance by formula (5) by composite wave wavelength and phase place.The bigness scale value substitution formula (5) of the L in the present embodiment, formula (2) being obtained calculates m s, and to m scarry out round.For the m that guarantees to calculate sbe accurately, the bigness scale precision that only need to meet L is better than λ s/ 4.Mention hereinbefore λ 1and λ 2choose time need meet this condition, this is easy to accomplish, illustrates below:
With λ 1=1.555 μ m, λ 2=1.565 μ m are example, composite wave wavelength X s=243.36 μ m.And the precision of existing single bigness scale L is generally several microns, be far superior to λ s/ 4, therefore enough guarantee to obtain m accurately s, by m sin generation, is got back to formula (5) again, and according to λ swith Δ φ scan calculate comparatively accurate distance L.Take phase accuracy 0.5 degree as example, the precision of the L now obtaining can reach λ s/ 2 ﹒ (0.5/360)=0.17 μ m, has been better than existing measuring accuracy λ 1/ 4.Therefore now comparatively accurate L value is updated to formula (3), calculates m 1and round, can obtain m accurately 1value.Again by m 1in generation, is got back to formula (3), and according to λ 1with Δ φ 1can recalculate and obtain accurate L value.Still, take phase accuracy 0.5 degree as example, now the precision of L can reach λ 1/ 2 ﹒ (0.5/360)=1.1nm.Can see by above-mentioned example, can not sacrifice under the condition of measuring speed by this method, directly bigness scale (precision of several microns) is transitioned into accurate measurement (nano level precision).
2) when measuring distance L is greater than R a1time, can measure by cursor principle, concrete grammar is:
1. when measuring distance L is greater than R a1time, suppose that k (k is any positive integer, indicating impulse sequence number) pulse of gage beam light pulse is from the first spectroscope BS 1propagate into the second corner reflector CR 2turn back to again the first spectroscope BS 1period in, the k of reference arm light pulse, k+1 ..., k+m(m is positive integer) and individual pulse completed by the first spectroscope BS 1propagate into the first corner reflector CR 1turn back to again the first spectroscope BS 1process, in other words, there is the dislocation in m cycle in the shown reference arm light pulse train of lastrow and gage beam light pulse sequence as shown in Figure 4, the distance of the dislocation correspondence in each cycle is R a1but, adopt the above-mentioned the 1st) plant the measuring method of situation, the periodicity m of dislocation cannot be come out, according to method 1) measure time delay corresponding be the Delay between k+m pulse of reference arm light pulse and k pulse of gage beam light pulse, by now survey distance be designated as D 1, actual tested distance L can be write as L=mR a1+ D 1form, D 1<R a1;
2. by measuring method 1 of the present invention) measure distance value D 1;
3. by the first femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC of laser distance measuring system of the present invention 1with the second femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC 2exchange, that is: the second femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC 2as measuring-signal source, the first femtosecond laser frequency comb FLFC 1as oscillation signals according source, adopt measuring method 1 of the present invention) measure distance value D 2, D 2<R a2;
4. due to measured before and after two femtosecond laser frequencies of exchange comb be same distance L, can be expressed as following form:
L=mR A1+D 1=mR A2+D 2 (6)
In formula, the definition of m is the same, is the dislocation periodicity between reference arm pulse and gage beam pulse, R a1and R a2be known number, due to R a1and R a2there is small difference, and this difference can be embodied in D along with the difference of m value 1and D 2difference on.Therefore according to the D recording 1and D 2can obtain m, then by m substitution formula (6), can calculate actual distance value L.
In order to ensure formula (6) both sides R a1and R a2coefficient m identical, need to meet L/R a1round and L/R a2what round comes to the same thing, and therefore needs to meet L<R a1r a1/ (R a1-R a2).
The various embodiments described above are only for illustrating the present invention; wherein can to adopt conventional support to support fixing for each optical element; and the position of optical element etc. all can change to some extent; as long as meet light path propagation conditions of the present invention; every equivalents of carrying out on the basis of technical solution of the present invention and improvement, all should not get rid of outside protection scope of the present invention.
