摘要
Limitations imposed by the phase meters used in heterodyne interferometers are evaluated. These instruments measure the phase relationship between electrical signals generated by the heterodyning process, allowing the interferometers to resolve fractions of an optical fringe. Measurements indicate that the phase meters used in currently available heterodyne interferometers probably limit achievable accuracy to a greater extent than barriers imposed by the optics. We show that a new class of time interval counters offers a means of greatly improving accuracy in these instruments.
