Two-color absolute length measuring method based on pulse repetition interval lengths

摘要

A unique absolute length measurement method is proposed and demonstrated for the first time. Since it takes advantage of both the high-accuracy measurement capability of a pulse train interference method and the ability of a two-color method to compensate for environmental changes, the present method is expected to be useful for high-precision length measurement for not only the purposes of laboratory science but also for satisfying the requirements of industry. A length measurement was performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
