Abstract

Abstract

Ultra-precision displacement measurement technology is not only the basis of precision machining, but also plays a decisive role in the chip manufacturing industry that is rapidly developing in Moore's Law. The grating displacement measurement system based on the grating pitch is widely used in multidimensional measurement system. Compared with the laser displacement measurement system, grating displacement measurement system greatly reduces the environmental requirements for humidity, temperature and pressure. In this paper, the development status of the optical structure of displacement sensing system based on two-dimensional grating in recent years is introduced. The principles of zero-difference and heterodyne grating interferometrys are introduced. The optical structure based on single-block two-dimensional grating is reviewed. The development history of the optical structure in single-block two-dimensional grating to coupling designs of multi-block two-dimensional gratings is summarized, the advantages and disadvantages of several two-dimensional grating displacement measurement systems are compared and analyzed, and the development trend of two-dimensional grating displacement measurement system is prospected. The engineering process of two-dimensional grating displacement measurement system is summarized.
- two-dimensional grating,
