Optical FM Heterodyne Interferometry For Range And Displacement Measurements

Abstract
A novel technique of frequency modulated ( FM ) heterodyne interferometer has been realized for measuring remotely the range and the displacement of both specular reflectors and diffuse surface objects using a FM semiconductor laser. The resolution better than 7 um was realized for the range measurement and about 1 nm for the displacement measurement with specular targets for ranges to about 2 m.
