Abstract
A new type of two-wavelength interferometer which applies a phase-lock technique is described. The wavelength tunability of a laser diode (LD) is used for phase modulation and phase control in this inter- ferometer. Since the two wavelengths are derived from a single LD in our system, the optical system is simple and there is no need to consider the fluctuation of relative wavelength between the two LD's in the conven- tional two-wavelength interferometers. The equivalent wavelength L is 15 mm and the measurement accuracy reaches ;L/400. The error sources in the system and the error analysis are also described. © 1996 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. Subject terms: two-wavelength interferometers; laser diodes; phase lock.
