Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018206731A1] The present disclosure relates to a distance measuring arrangement for determining a distance from an object (20), wherein the distance measuring arrangement comprises the following: – at least one light source (12) for producing at least one first monochromatic and interference-capable light beam (12.1) with a first wavelength and for producing at least one second monochromatic and interference-capable light beam (12.2) with a second wavelength, – a multiplexer (14) for coupling or combining the at least first light beam (12.1) and the at least second light beam (12.2) into a common measurement beam (M), – an output coupling element (45) for splitting the measurement beam (M) into a reference beam (R) and into a signal beam (S), wherein the reference beam (R) propagates along a reference path (RP) and wherein the signal beam (S) propagates along a signal path (SP), – a phase modulator (60; 160), which is arranged in the signal path (SP) and which is configured to modulate the phase of the signal beam (S) in a time-periodic manner.
