How
to Specify a Laser Interferometer System
Axsys Technologies is
a pioneer in the field of distance-measuring
laser interferometry. Since 1979, Axsys
has designed and manufactured thousands
of interferometers for the world's largest
corporations. Our laser interferometers
are primarily used as feedback elements
in state-of-art servo motion control systems.
A laser interferometer system consists of
four building blocks:
Helium-Neon
(He-Ne) Laser Source
Interferometer/Receiver
Module
Retroreflector Flat
Mirror Target
Optical Beam Bending
and Beam Splitting Modules
In
order to provide the greatest possible
flexibility for integration into
OEM equipment, these elements can
be combined in a large number of
combinations. Sample configurations
for single-axis systems are shown
below. More detailed single-axis
examples and other examples may
be downloaded in Adobe Acrobat format.
