Description

Four-beam structure laser heterodyne interference roll angle measuring device and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectric roll angle measurement, and particularly relates to a four-beam structure laser heterodyne interference roll angle measurement device and method.
Background
Precision guide rails play an important role in the manufacturing industry, aerospace industry and other industries. There are six geometric errors in the linear guide rail, which are: positioning error, two straightness errors, pitch angle, yaw angle and roll angle. Therefore, the high-precision measurement of the rolling angle error of the guide rail is an important index for measuring the performance of the precision guide rail, and is also a key technology for checking the acceptance of products and compensating the error.
In the six-degree-of-freedom errors, the other five errors except the rolling angle can be measured by an interferometer based on optical path difference change, and for the rolling angle error, because the error direction is vertical to the measuring beam direction, the additional optical path difference cannot be introduced, the measurement of the rolling angle is relatively difficult, and at present, the rolling angle is still in a research and exploration stage at home and abroad.
The current heterodyne interferometer based on polarization state change can measure the roll angle, and the main principle is that the roll of a half wave plate serving as a detection sensitive element introduces the change of the polarization state of a light beam, so that the phase change of the measuring light beam is caused. The rolling angle error of the wave plate can be calculated by detecting the phase variation.
However, the phase change sensitive regions of two frequency components in the measurement light of the current heterodyne interferometer based on polarization state change along with the change of the roll angle are not overlapped, and the sensitive regions of the two components appear alternately, so that the high-resolution measurement of the two light beams cannot be fully utilized, and the measurement resolution of the system cannot be effectively improved.
