ABSTRACT:
An absolute accuracy in the range from ±2 nm to ±1 nm for a displacement measurement value is provided by a laser interferometer displacement measuring system. A fluctuating error component that appears corresponding to the wave cycle of laser light is detected and subtracted from the measurement value while a stage is moving, thereby providing a high accuracy.
