ABSOLUTE LENGTH-MEASURING SYSTEM BY AUTOMATIC INTERFERENCE-FRINGE-PEAK DETECTION WITH OPTICAL-COMB FIBER INTERFEROMETER

Hirokazu Matsumoto, Kiyoshi Takamasu
Abstract:
Optical frequency comb has various characteristics such as short pulse, broad spectra, many spectral lines, and high temporal coherency. In this present, new absolute length-measuring technique with a high resolution of 0.1 µm is developed by using temporal-coherence interferometry of optical comb and a short translation stage for various length ranges. A new fiber Fabry-Perot etalon of a free spectral range of a frequency of 15 GHz is developed for improving the fine positioning in space. Moreover, interference-fringe-peak is automatically achieved by developing a new analog electric circuit. One position is measured round several milliseconds depending to the SN ratio of the signal detected for various ranges of the lengths measured.
