The angle measuring method based on the measuring device comprises the following steps: the vibration target vibrates, the laser beam emitted by the multi-longitudinal mode laser is placed on the turntable in an initial state, the incident angle is 0 (namely the laser emitting beam is vertical to the side surface where the bevel edge of the right-angle prism is located in the initial state), the turntable rotates, the laser beam is incident on the inclined surface of the right-angle prism, the laser beam incident light enters the right-angle prism, is internally reflected twice and then is emitted to the vibration target from the original incident surface, the direction of the laser beam incident to the vibration target is opposite to the direction of the laser beam emitted by the laser and is reflected by the reflecting structure, based on the characteristics of the right-angle prism, the reflected beam is fed back to the resonant cavity of the multi-longitudinal mode laser along the original path to form a laser self-mixing signal, in the process, the turntable in the sensing unit rotates to drive the right-angle prism to rotate, so that the waveform of the laser self-mixing signal is changed, the vibration, and the vibration surface and the laser beam incident to the vibration surface are always kept vertical in the moving process to change the optical path of the vibration target distance multi-longitudinal-mode laser, so that laser self-mixing signals under different laser external cavity lengths are formed, the laser self-mixing signals under different laser external cavity lengths are collected by the photoelectric detector, then the laser self-mixing signals are preprocessed by the signal preprocessing unit, and finally the preprocessed laser self-mixing signals are analyzed by the signal processing unit, so that the rotation angle of the rotary disc in the sensing unit can be obtained.
The specific measurement and analysis method of this embodiment is the same as the measurement and analysis method in
In this embodiment, the method for analyzing the relationship between the external optical path of the sensing unit and the angle change is as follows:
as shown in fig. 7, in the initial state, the rectangular prism is placed on the turntable, the incident angle is 0, the incident angle (i.e., the measured angle) of the light beam incident on the side where the hypotenuse of the rectangular prism is located changes with the rotation of the turntable, and the incident light enters the rectangular prism and is emitted from the original incident surface after being reflected twice inside the rectangular prism.
As shown in fig. 8, after the turntable rotates by θ degrees (i.e. the rectangular prism rotates by θ degrees), the optical path length of ME in the graph can be obtained from the geometric relationship shown in the graph as follows:
in fig. 8, the optical path length of EC plus CD plus DF inside the rectangular prism is:
the optical path length of FN in fig. 8 is:
therefore, the optical path difference when the rectangular prism is rotated by θ degrees can be expressed as:
wherein a refers to the side length of a right-angle edge of the right-angle prism, h refers to the vertical distance from the circle center position of the rotary table to the position of the plane mirror, n refers to the refractive index of the prism, theta refers to the incident angle of a light beam entering the inclined plane of the right-angle prism, gamma refers to the refraction angle of the light beam entering the inclined plane, and q refers to the refraction angle of the light beam entering1Is referred to as the prism AC segment length, q2Refers to the prism OC section length.
