    摘要: The invention features a method for determining non-linear cyclic errors in a metrology system that positions a measurement object under servo-control based on an interferometrically derived position signal. The method includes: translating the measurement object under servo-control at a fixed speed; identifying frequencies of any oscillations in the position of measurement object as it is translated at the fixed speed; and determining amplitude and phase coefficients for sinusoidal components at the identified frequencies which when combined with the position signal suppress the oscillations. The invention also features a method for positioning a measurement object under servo-control based on an interferometrically derived position signal indicative of a position for the measurement object. This method includes: generating a compensated position signal based on the interferometrically derived position signal and at least one correction term that has a sinusoidal dependence on the position of the measurement object; and repositioning the measurement object based on the compensated position signal and a desired position for the measurement object.

    摘要: For measuring a property such as caliper of a traveling sheet, a sensor body and a target body are located on opposite sides of the sheet and constrained (e.g., by gas bearings) along a sensor path intersecting the path of the sheet. Gas bearings maintain these bodies at, substantially constant distances from the opposite surfaces of the sheet while permitting them to move in response to the position and thickness of the sheet. An active sensor element aboard the sensor body and a passive sensor element aboard the target body interact through the sheet to produce aboard the sensor body a response dependent on the sheet property. Manifestations of this response, such as light beam modulations, are produced, without solid bodily connections, at a location spaced from the sensor body where the manifestations are detected to produce a sheet property-indicative signal.
