Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of optics, in particular to a hybrid displacement measuring device, comprising a worktable to be measured, a grating ruler, a laser light source, a first beam splitting mirror, a first measuring assembly, and a second measuring assembly which comprises a first interferometer. A hybrid measuring approach that integrates grating and laser is proposed based on the advantages of the two measuring means. The grating ruler is used to perform long-distance measurement distal to the mirror, and the first interferometer is used to perform short-distance measurement proximal to the mirror, thereby solving the problem that it is difficult to guarantee both the range and the precision of displacement measurement of the worktable to be measured.
