Abstract

We describe a method of absolute xyz-coordinates measurement based on the two-point diffraction interferometer. In this paper we use a new optimization algorithm to the interferometer. Experimental results show that the systematic error of the interferometer is less than 1 μm (peak-to-valley value) within a 60 mm by 60 mm by 20 mm working volume. To extract the systematic error and verify the absolute performance of the interferometer we applied the Fourier self-calibration concept.
