The ideal source for air-turbulence-corrected distance-measuring interferometry is a single laser that generate overlapping beams at two widely separated wavelengths lambda 1 and lambda 2. At least one of the wavelengths, as well as the wavelength ratio, must be known to high degrees of accuracy. Furthermore, at each wavelength, the laser should produce a pair of orthogonally polarized frequencies with a frequency splitting that is adjustable over the range of approximately 0.5 MHz to 20 MHz to facilitate AC interferometric distance measurements with a variety of measurement-mirror velocities. <IMAGE> |
