Absolute Length (thickness) Measurements Using Wavelength Scanning Interferometry
Wavelength scanning interferometry offers a new dimension in precision metrology by measuring the cavity length (thickness), the cavity length variation over the cavity area (flatness), and the optical homogeneity within a transparent cavity; without any mechanical movement by implementing a tunable laser. This property is useful when the physical movement of a large optic is not feasible using...
متن کاملClassical dispersion-cancellation interferometry.
Even-order dispersion cancellation, an effect previously identified with frequency-entangled photons, is demonstrated experimentally for the first time with a linear, classical interferometer. A combination of a broad bandwidth laser and a high resolution spectrometer was used to measure the intensity correlations between anti-correlated optical frequencies. Only 14% broadening of the correlati...
متن کاملImproved vertical-scanning interferometry.
We describe a method that combines phase-shifting and coherence-peak-sensing techniques to permit measurements with the height resolution of phase-shifting interferometry without the interval-slope limitation of lambda/4 per data sample of phase-shifting interferometry. A five-frame algorithm is used to determine both the best-focus frame position and the fractional phase from the best-focus fr...
متن کاملQuadrature wavelength scanning interferometry.
A novel method to double the measurement range of wavelength scanning interferometery (WSI) is described. In WSI the measured optical path difference (OPD) is affected by a sign ambiguity, that is, from an interference signal it is not possible to distinguish whether the OPD is positive or negative. The sign ambiguity can be resolved by measuring an interference signal in quadrature. A method t...
