The design of a full working setup with environmental condition control and monitoring systems, as well as image analysis software, is presented. For length deviation determination the phase fraction approach is proposed and described. To confirm that the system is capable of calibrating gauge blocks with assumed accuracy, a comparison between the results of 300 mm length gauge block measurement obtained by using other systems from the Central Office of Measures is made. Statistical analysis proved that the system can be used for high precision measurements with assumed standard uncertainty (125 nm for a length of 1 m). Finally the comparison between our results obtained for a long gauge block set (600 mm to 1000 mm long) and previous calibrations made by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) [2] is shown}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Measurement System Based on Multi-Wavelength Interferometry for Long Gauge Block Calibration}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/90167/PDF/Journal10178-VolumeXX%20Issue3_14.pdf}, doi={10.2478/mms-2013-0041}, keywords={gauge block, multi-wavelength, interferometry}, }
