摘要:
The method of evaluating an optical defect in a transparent material includes irradiating the material with light to produce scattered light from the defect, rotating the material about a rotation axis passing through the defect, measuring scattered light intensity at a scattering angle (θs) to the rotation axis by means of a detector, determining the dependence of the measured scattered light intensity on rotation angle (φs) around the rotation axis and characterizing size and/or shape of the defect from that dependence. The apparatus for performing the method has a light source, a rotatable holder for the transparent material, a light sensitive receiving device and an imaging optical system for imaging scattered light from the material within a certain angular range on a detector surface of the receiving device.
摘要:
The method for determining local structures in optical materials, especially crystals, includes observing schlieren visually in a material to be tested with divergent white light in a first step; measuring birefringence of polarized laser light in the material to determine local defects and structure faults in the material with a spatial resolution of 0.5 mm or better in a second step if the material is judged to be suitable in the first step and then interferometrically measuring the material to determine the faults in the material by interferometry in a third step if the material is judged to be suitable in the first and second steps. This method can be part of a method for making optical components, especially for microlithography.
摘要:
An additional data structure can be initialized for a column of compressed data to include a prefix storing, for each block of values in the column, a total number of bits set in previous blocks in the bit vector. A block number can be determined for a target block of the plurality of blocks, for example by checking whether or not a specified row number is located in the prefix. If the specified row number is located in the prefix, the prefix value of the prefix is returned, the most frequently occurring value is returned if a corresponding bit in the bit vector in the specified row number is not located in the prefix, or a position of the specified row in an index vector for the column is returned.
