Form Errors in Precision Metrology: A Survey of Measurement Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of foundational concepts and techniques used in metrology of form errors such as straightness, flatness, circularity, sphericity, and cylindricity. While there exists a significant body of literature on form-error metrology, to the best of our knowledge, no review paper has been written on this topic. Our aim here is to (i) present a unified view of the mathematical foundations of form-error metrology and (ii) to uncover the relative strengths and weaknesses of a wide spectrum of techniques from the literature. Our analysis concludes with a discussion of opportunities for future research.

An Evaluation of Time-of-flight Range Cameras for Close Range Metrology Applications
Time-of-flight range cameras are an emerging technology that produces a digital photo or video like output in which every pixel contains both intensity and distance information. Typical currently available off-the-shelf range imaging cameras offer spatial resolutions of up to 40 k-pixels, distance measurement precision of less than 1 cm, and accuracy of a few centimetres. These specifications s...

Phase-measurement interferometry (PM!) techniques enable quantitative measurements to be performed in optical testing, holographic interferometry, and speckle metrology. This paper will present results of error analyses of the most common errors in phase-measurement techniques. These errors include miscalibrated and nonlinear phase shifters, detector nonlinearities, detection quantization, vibr...

In a previous paper, the University of Arizona (UA) has developed a measurement technique called: Software Configurable Optical Test System (SCOTS) based on the principle of reflection deflectometry. In this paper, we present results of this very efficient optical metrology method applied to the metrology of X-ray mirrors. We used this technique to measure surface slope errors with precision an...
متن کاملQuantum state engineering and precision metrology using state-insensitive light traps.
Precision metrology and quantum measurement often demand that matter be prepared in well-defined quantum states for both internal and external degrees of freedom. Laser-cooled neutral atoms localized in a deeply confining optical potential satisfy this requirement. With an appropriate choice of wavelength and polarization for the optical trap, two electronic states of an atom can experience the...
