Abstract: A distance measurement device and method based on secondary mixing of inter-mode self-interference signals of optical frequency combs are provided, which relate to the field of high precision laser distance measurement technologies. A dual-comb light source emits a dual-comb laser into a detection optical module to obtain the inter-mode self-interference signals carrying the to-be-measured distance information. The detection optical module outputs the inter-mode self-interference signals into a generation, acquisition and calculation module of inter-mode self-interference secondary mixing signals to generate the inter-mode self-interference secondary mixing signals, to thereby achieve signal acquisition and obtain a distance measurement result. In this device, coarse and fine distance measurements at different scales are achieved, measurement range and accuracy can be effectively balanced by combing intermediate transition measurement scales and inter-stage transition method, strong real-time property of measurement is achieved, and the light source has low cost and the scale of the system is small.
