Dual-Frequency Laser Interferometry: Edlen Formula for Atmospheric Compensation

Helium-Neon Stabilized Laser Frequency Standards

Stabilizing laser emission to iodine molecular absorption lines achieves frequency stability better than 1 part in 10⁸.

Modified Edlen Equation for Air Refractive Index (n)

Continuous sensor tracking of ambient pressure (0.1 hPa) and temperature (0.01°C) to dynamically recalculate wavelength.

Doppler Beat Frequency Phase Decoding

Using Zeeman-split orthogonal polarization states to detect sub-nanometer stage movements in high-speed scanning.

⚠️ Technical & Safety Verification
