Abstract

A calibration method includes forming an external optical path, forming an internal optical path, and conducting a phase comparison between the second part of signals of the internal and external optical paths sequentially received by a second receiving device and the first part of signals of the internal and external optical paths sequentially received by a first receiving device. Two-way phase signals are outputted with part of a base reference being eliminated. Phase comparison is conducted again between the two-way signals with part of the base reference being eliminated, and the final phase signal is outputted with the base reference being eliminated. The distance-measuring device includes a transmitting device, first reflective surface, first and second receiving devices, first and second filters, and a phase detector. This realizes phase compensation and calibration, avoids introducing uncertain phase noise into a circuit due to environmental changes, improves distance-measurement precision, and reduces system costs.
