Abstract

A two-frequency laser interferometric path measuring system is introduced which has been developed especially for the precision rapid-positioning systems of micro lithographic large-scale instruments and for ultra-precision technology. The modulation frequency of 640 MHz, generated by a highly stabilized He-Ne-laser allows -- in combination with a novel HF signal processing method -- measuring velocities up to 6.4 m/s without 'loosing' even the least increment (10 nm). It is further metrological merit that the least increment is not generated by an additional NF interpolation -- as was usual so far -- but aries from the parallel processing in the HF part.
