The Benefits of Heterodyne vs. Homodyne
|
Eliminates vibration induced false measurements Extremely robust for both OEM and end-user applications Easy to align and insensitive to signal amplitude changes High stability A single laser source can support multiple axes |
System Integration Simplified
|
Simplified P2 interfacing means single or multiple boards can be easily bussed to a single servo card or motor controller Fiber optic connections between the interferometers and the system electronics mean easier integration, lower costs, and better ESD isolation Reduced cost of ownership with less setup time and less maintenance time |
