    Abstract: An interferometric optical device that measures the curved wall shape of a cylindrical object and includes: an interferometric optical system that emits measurement light at the curved wall of the object, collects the light reflected by the object, and creates a composite wave that combines the reflected light and a reference light; a rotation drive assembly that is connected to the interferometric optical system and rotationally displaces the interferometric optical system centered about a rotation axis that coincides with a center axis of the cylindrical shape of the object; a sensor that acquires a two-dimensional distribution of the intensity of the composite wave using a plurality of photoreceptor elements arrayed two-dimensionally; and a computation device that computes the internal wall shape of the object based on the plurality of two-dimensional distributions acquired in a state where a rotation angle for the rotation drive mechanism varies.

    Abstract: In a method and system for measuring a height map of a surface of an object, the following steps are carried out. Height maps of different sections of the surface of the object are measured, using an optical profilometer having a field of view covering an individual section, wherein each height map comprises height data. The measured height maps are grouped into different sets of height maps, wherein within each set each one of the height maps of the set has a valid overlap to at least one other height map of the set, and wherein each height map belongs to one set and does not have a valid overlap with any height map of another set. Within each set, the measured height maps are stitched to a sub-composite stitched height map. The sub-composite stitched height maps are combined to a composite height map.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an interference measuring device with an optical system that can receive light reflected from a measurement object of a surface profile that is not perpendicular to an optical axis. An interference measuring device includes a light source for emitting light and an interferometric objective lens. The interferometric objective lens includes a reference mirror disposed in a reference beam path and a beam splitter that splits the incident light into a beam traveling along the reference beam path and a beam traveling along a measurement beam path. The beam splitter also combines the beam reflected off the reference mirror with the beam reflected off a measurement object disposed in the measurement beam path before emitting the combined beams. The interference measuring device further includes an imaging unit for taking an image of the combined beams forming on the unit and an aperture stop disposed in an optical path linking the interferometric objective lens, the light source, and the imaging unit together. The aperture stop is movable along an optical axis of the interferometric objective lens.

    Abstract: Method of determining a property of a sample from a correlogram obtainable by scanning of a surface of the sample through a focal plane of an objective using broad-band interferometry is provided. The correlogram may be displaying interference radiation intensity as a function of the scanning distance from the surface. The correlogram may be correlated with a secondary correlogram to obtain a cross correlogram or with the same correlogram to obtain an autocorrelogram. A property of the sample may be determined from the auto or cross correlogram.
