    Abstract: Present disclosure relates to a heterodyne grating interferometric method and system for two-degree-of-freedom with high tolerance. The system comprises a separately modulated heterodyne laser (1), an optical prism (23) and a photoelectric detection and signal processing unit (4). The separately modulated heterodyne laser (1) simultaneously outputs two laser beams at different frequencies, which are incident in parallel to a first beamsplitting surface so as to be split, and then a part thereof is incident to a retro-reflector (233) to produce reference beams (53a, 53b), which are incident to a third beamsplitting surface, and the other part traverses a double-diffraction structure formed by a measured grating (3) and retro-reflectors (234a, 234b) to obtain two measured beams (59a, 59b), which are incident to a second beamsplitting surface and then are divided into two parts. Wherein one part is converged to form a first interference beam (61), and the other part is incident to the third beamsplitting surface and is converged with the corresponding reference beams (53a, 53b) to form second and third interference beams (62, 63). Photoelectric detection and signal processing is performed on the interference signals of the three interference beams (61, 62, 63), so as to calculate horizontal and vertical displacement of the grating (3). The present measurement method and system improve the angular tolerance of tip and tilt of the optical grating (3) while increasing the fold factors.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a multi-frequency hybrid heterodyne laser tracker system based on a single light source. According to the laser tracking system proposed in the present disclosure, multi-frequency laser is obtained by conducting multi-acousto-optic frequency shift on a dual-longitudinal-mode laser unit, and an absolute ranging precision gauge is constructed by using a dual-longitudinal-mode interval of a light source. With the frequency shift difference of a multi-acousto-optic frequency shifter, an absolute ranging roughness gauge is constructed, and the relative displacement measurement of dual-frequency light interference is achieved. Meanwhile, by utilizing the reflection of multiple reflectors and light splitting and combining of polarization prisms, synchronous measurement of multi-wavelength absolute distance, relative displacement and PSD position is achieved, resolving the problem that an existing laser tracker uses multiple light sources, which leads to difference in measurement datum, and consequently to the difficultly in traceback.
