    Abstract:

    In order to research high precision and high speed laser measurement technology, this study explores precision ranging using a femtosecond optical frequency comb based on electro-optic sampling timing detection technology. The optical frequency comb ranging system integrates a fiber Sagnac interferometer, electro-optic modulators with dynamic phase bias, non-reciprocal static phase biasing units, and optical pulse time-of-flight detection, offering advantages of high precision and speed. The system achieves a 45 nm single-point ranging uncertainty within a 26 ms integration time. Coupled with a two-dimensional scanning translation stage, it enables precise measurements of step heights on gauge blocks and surface morphology of coins. Additionally, it dynamically detects the diffuse reflections from a metallic film 3 m away influenced by nearby speaker sound waves, faithfully reproducing the played music signals. This study demonstrates the great potential of electro-optic sampling timing detection technology in high precision and high speed distance measurement, playing a significant role in advancing the field of precision ranging.
