Basics of White-Light Interferometry

چکیده

Interferometer Setup The Twyman–Green interferometer (Figure 1) is a special configuration of the well-known Michelson interferometer with optics that superimpose the images of the object and the reference planes. Polytec engineers use this interferometer and place a CCD image sensor like those used for digital photography at the point where the two images are superimposed. A broadband “white-light” source is used to illuminate the test and reference surfaces. A condenser lens collimates the light from the broadband light source. A beam splitter separates the light into reference and measurement beams. The reference beam is reflected by the reference mirror, while the measurement beam is reflected or scattered from the test surface. The returning beams are relayed by the beam splitter to the CCD image sensor, and form an interference pattern of the test surface topography that is spatially sampled by the individual CCD pixels. Vertically scanning white-light interferometry is a non-contact optical

Harnessing spectral property of dual wavelength white LED to improve vertical scanning interferometry.

Unlike a conventional white light source that emits a continuous and broad spectrum of light, the dual wavelength white light emitting diode (LED) generates white light by mixing blue and yellow lights, so there are two distinct peaks in its intensity spectrum. Prior works had shown that the spectral property of the dual wavelength white LED can affect the vertical scanning interferometry negat...

Fringe modulation skewing effect in white-light vertical scanning interferometry.

An interference fringe modulation skewing effect in white-light vertical scanning interferometry that can produce a batwings artifact in a step height measurement is described. The skewing occurs at a position on or close to the edge of a step in the sample under measurement when the step height is less than the coherence length of the light source used. A diffraction model is used to explain t...

Group-delay measurement on laser mirrors by spectrally resolved white-light interferometry.

The frequency-dependent group delay of dielectric mirrors was measured by spectrally resolved white-light interferometry. Chirped mirrors and thin-film Gires-Tournois interferometers designed for dispersion control in a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser oscillator-amplifier system were tested with a group-delay resolution of +/-0.2 fs and a spectral resolution of ~1 nm over the spectral range of 67...

Dispersion measurement of tapered air-silica microstructure fiber by white-light interferometry.

Dispersion properties of novel, tapered, air-silica microstructure fibers are measured between 1.3 and 1.65 microm by white-light interferometry. Dispersion values (beta2) of -181 and -152 ps2/km were obtained for 2.2- and 3-microm core sizes, respectively, at lambda = 1.55 microm.
