Abstract
En 中文
We have demonstrated a simple method to measure high-precision absolute angular displacement using an optical frequency comb (OFC). The dispersive interferometry with parallel configuration can take advantage of its large non-ambiguity range and achieve absolute angular measurement in a large range. The influence factors of the angle accuracy, including the accuracy of optical path difference, the determination of absolute zero position and the correction of sine arm have been analyzed in detail. The angle comparison is performed with the autocollimator and multi-tooth indexing table. The angle accuracy can reach +/- 2 arcsec (k=2) in the range of 5 degrees, which represents a good agreement with the Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed approach has potential to be extended to multi-degree-of-freedom measurement with a simple structure in future.
