Abstract:
A dual-comb-based distance measurement method is proposed, which can measure the optical distance of the fundamental and the second harmonics simultaneously, so that two-color method can be applied to correct the refractive index of air. In a 1.6 m long distance measurement, the stability is about 10 µm. In the step-by-step linear test with a range of 1.2 m, the measurement accuracy is demonstrated to be about 20 µm. The results show the present method can be applied in practical distance measurement.
