    摘要: A system and method for generating a shadow image of the surface of an object, the image capable of quantitative surface measurement by direct measurement of the slope of the surface at a given location, from which a surface roughness figure may be determined. Light of a defined angular distribution is directed upon the object surface. A collecting lens transmits an image of the surface to an image plane. An aperture located at the focal plane of the lens has at least a portion thereof in the light path to block out a portion of the possible angles of light passing through the collecting lens, limiting the reflected light from the surface to an angular light distribution in the beam to effect a contrast image between at least two areas in the image plane of an intensity contrast of at least two per cent.

    摘要: Optically screened input information is recorded as excursions on the surface of a thermoplastic film. The excursions basically consist of a periodic carrier wave and a modulating signal containing the input information. Highly coherent light is directed incident upon the image bearing surface whereby the signal modulated deformations thereon cause the light to become diffracted. The diffracted light is then passed through a projection system including a spatial filter which is positionable in the focal plane of the system. The filter comprises a thin opaque mask having two clear apertures therein, which, when the mask is positioned in the systems focal plane, are coincident with the two first diffracted order focal spots, the two apertures being of a size capable of passing the modulated side bands of the input signal. The mask also has a third aperture centered about the optical center line of the system and being of a size such that the Airy disc of the zero diffracted order just fills, or preferably, slightly more than fills the central aperture when the two first diffracted order focal spots are centered in the other two apertures. The optical path length of one of the light beams passing through the filter is retarded in relation to the other beams whereby interference between the light beams is produced at the scan plane of the system.

    摘要: A phase object visualization apparatus includes: an illumination optical system 11 that illuminates a phase object; an image formation optical system 12 that forms an image from light from sample S that corresponds to the phase object; and light blocking unit 10 for blocking light, the light blocking unit 10 being disposed between the sample S and an image plane formed by the image formation optical system 12, and including an aperture at a position decentered from the optical axis of the image formation optical system 12. The position of the aperture is such that an area occupied on the aperture by 0-order diffraction light from the sample S illuminated by the illumination optical system 11 becomes smaller than the total area of the aperture.

    摘要: A wavefront measuring device and method obtain wavefront information of an optical system. The method including: irradiating the optical system with a light beam; allowing the light beam passed via the optical system to come into a diffraction grating having periodicity in a first direction; and obtaining the wavefront information based on an interference fringe formed by light beams generated from the diffraction grating. The diffraction grating including: first portions which allow light to pass therethrough; and second portions which shield light, each of the second portions being provided between two of the first portions. A ratio between a width of one of the first portions in the first direction and a width of one of the second portions in the first direction is changed in the first direction, the one of the first portions and the one of the second portions being adjacent to each other.
