Description

An external cavity laser diode system is proposed for a double mode light source, in which the oscillation mode can also alternately switch between TE- and TM-modes. An external cavity laser diode system is implemented to oscillate periodically switching between a TE- and a TM-mode in the identical frequency. The system is applied to length measurement. Accuracy of the measurement is quite excellent with the relative error of +/- 0.0100%, and proves that the present method is one of highly accurate practical non- contact length measuring means. In the present paper, we present both its principle and results of the experiments.
