ABSTRACT:
A laser interferometer includes: a laser source for emitting a laser beam while stabilizing a center wavelength of the laser beam by modulating the laser beam using a modulation signal of a predetermined frequency; and a reference mirror and a measurement mirror for reflecting the laser beam. The laser interferometer further includes: a sampling unit for acquiring a sampling value by sampling interference light reflected by the reference mirror and the measurement mirror with a sampling frequency that is a multiple by an integer of two or more of a frequency of the modulation signal; and an average calculator for calculating an average value by averaging a time-series sampling value acquired by the sampling unit in accordance with the sampling frequency. The laser interferometer calculates a displacement of the measurement mirror based on the average value calculated by the average calculator.
