Title:
多波長干渉変位測定方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5511162
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
When the distance from the body of an interferometer to an object (110) or a displacement is interferometrically measured by using laser beams of a plurality of wavelengths, obtaining interference measurement values that are measured at the respective wavelengths, and expanding a measurement range by a synthetic wavelength that is equivalently longer than the wavelengths of the laser beams from combinations of the wavelengths, the wavelengths of the laser beams are measured by using an optical comb generator (104). An interferometric measurement may be performed while the oscillation wavelength of a variable wavelength laser (101) is measured by using the optical comb, and a feedback control is performed, whereby laser beams of a plurality of predetermined wavelengths are obtained; a variable wavelength laser is caused to oscillate at an arbitrary wavelength to obtain interference measurement values at the plurality of wavelengths, and wavelengths (frequencies) of laser beams at timings when the respective interference measurement values are obtained are measured by the optical comb; or a plurality of lasers (416,417) are used, and wavelengths of laser beams oscillated from the lasers are measured by the optical comb.
