Research on Position Detection of PSD Based on Light Intensity Modulation and Digital Fit

Position sensitive detector (PSD) is influenced by the background light source when the weak light falls on its photo sensitive face. This paper applies the technique of sine light intensity modulation and band-pass filter which can overcome the background light to enhance the signal to noise ratio(S/N) of this position detection system greatly. The sum-intensity signal and the difference-intensity signal extracted from PSD are modulation frequency signals and the amplitude ratio and phase discrepancy are decided by the position of the light spot. Based on these characteristics, the approach of using simultaneous A/D and elliptical fitting algorithm to locate the light spot is adopted, and the related theoretical formulas are also carried out. This approach can conquer the defects of traditional signal processing methods. The experiment results show that: when the range of measured position is 9mm, the measurement accuracy is up to 0.01mm.

A measurement system for surface topography based on three-wavelength interferometry

Optical microscopic interferometry is an important measurement method for surface topography. There is usually contradiction between enlargement of measuring interval and improvement of measuring precision. In this paper, a three- wavelength interference measurement system for surface topography based on wavelength switch and phase shift scanning is proposed. A data processing method for three- wavelength interference images is proposed, which use the phase extraction and recognition algorithm based on elliptic fitting and combined size scales of phase difference. The method can effectively improve the overall precision of surface topography measurement and expand measuring interval to nearly 27 times that of single wavelength 640 nm. Experimental results have shown that the relative measurement error of surface roughness of square wave specimen with multiple grooves is only 4.1% compared to the calibrated data which is produced by China National Institute of Metrology. Therefore, the three-wavelength interferometry method can realize high precision measurement for surface topography in a certain measuring interval.

It has been an active research topic to extend the depth-of-field of optical imaging systems. The axicon that can image a point into a line segment along the optical axis, it can be used to extend the depth of field of a microscope. A large depth of field microscope, realized by the axicon and digital imaging processing technology, is presented in this paper. The parameters of the expected microscope system are given with ZEMAX. The depth of field is analyzed based on the condition of focal segment. Imaging experiments show that the axicon can extend the depth of field.

A two-dimensional table with long travel and micropositioning

High-precision, long travel two-dimensional tables are widely used in ultra-precision machining, multi-dimensional measuring machine, surface grinder and advanced manufacturing fields. A two-dimensional table with long travel and micro-nano positioning is presented in this paper. The table is controlled by the combination of a computer and a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) device. The moving units are consisted of AC servo motors and piezoelectric ceramics (PZT), which are used to achieve macro and micro-positioning respectively. The positioning accuracy is controlled by diffracting gratings and four-quadrant photoelectric receiver (QPD). Experimental results show that the positioning error of this table is 0.2µm, and the working range is 100×100mm2.

Research on direct digital process of inductance sensor

The equivalent circuit of inductance sensor is analyzed. Amplitude-displacement and phase-displacement equations are deduced for non-ideal carrier wave and inductance parameters. Simulation computation shows the corresponding digital curves. Considering that the traditional process method is an approximate one, a new method is presented to simultaneously obtain the amplitude and phase of output signal of sensor by simultaneity A/D and ellipse fit arithmetic. According to the characteristic of the amplitude-displacement and phase-displacement curves, we obtain displacement by phase and amplitude respectively when the sensor is close to the zero point position and away from other positions on the basis of the experiment. The experiment showed that this method can improve precision of measurement, and it can also work for the whole linear range of sensors even if the magnification is very high.
