Abstract

An improved mirror scan control for driving a movable mirror in an interferometer with a constant scan velocity comprises a closed loop servo control which provides constant velocity mirror scan in response to a phase comparison of a signal derived from the beat frequency of a two frequency laser beam passing through the interferometer and a selected frequency reference signal, wherein the difference in frequencies or beat frequency of the two frequency laser beam is stabilized at a specified difference in frequencies. The mirror scan control employs a phase lock control loop which locks the frequency of the referenced signal with the frequency of the signal derived from the laser beam to provide precise mirror velocity control.
