Abstract

In this research, we present a wavelength corrected, non-polarizing heterodyne laser interferometer for sub-nm accuracy. The basic concept of this interferometer consists of two ideas; one is to correct the optical frequency which can be shifted by the refractive index fluctuation of air in a Fabry-Perot etalon (FPE) and the other is to reduce periodic errors using spatially separated two frequency beams. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated sub-nm accuracy of the proposed interferometer.
