    Abstract: This application relates to the technical field of confocal microscopy measurement and provides a dark-field confocal microscopy measurement apparatus and method based on time-varying fractional-order vortex demodulation. The apparatus includes a time-varying modulated illumination module, an optical scanning module, a signal collection and demodulation module, a function generator, and a sample platform. The function generator is separately connected with. The time-varying modulated illumination module is configured to emit fractional-order vortex light to the optical scanning module. The optical scanning module is configured to transmit the fractional-order vortex light to the to-be-measured sample on the sample platform and transmit a reflected light signal to the signal collection and demodulation module. The signal collection and demodulation module is configured to collect the reflected light signal, and perform dark-field confocal detection on the reflected light signal based on a reference signal, to obtain measurement information of the to-be-measured sample.

    Abstract: This application provides a vortex dichroism dark-field confocal microscopy measurement apparatus based on spiral transformation. An opposite-order vortex beam generation module is configured to generate a mixed vortex beam, a sample scanning module is configured to irradiate a scanning position of a to-be-measured sample by using the mixed vortex beam, to obtain a sample reflection beam. A spiral transformation module is configured to spatially separate the sample reflection beam to obtain spatially separated beams. A multi-order detection module is configured to detect the spatially separated beams to obtain a vortex dichroism signal at the scanning position. When the scanning position of the to-be-measured sample is defect-free, the vortex dichroism signal is zero. Conversely, when defects are present at the scanning position, the vortex dichroism signal is non-zero. The positive and negative the vortex dichroism signal respectively correspond to the left-handed and right-handed chirality of the defects.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a differential dark-field confocal microscopic measurement apparatus and method based on a polarized vector light beam. The apparatus includes a vector polarized illumination light generation module, a light beam scanning illumination module and a differential dark-field confocal imaging module; a half wave plate and a vortex wave plate are regulated to generate radially polarized signal light and azimuthally polarized signal light respectively, and an acousto-optic modulator is controlled to modulate light beams into a pulse form, so that the radially polarized signal light and the azimuthally polarized signal light alternately illuminate during the same period, both of which have a time occupation ratio of 50%, separately. Difference values of scattering signals under separate illumination of the radially polarized signal light and the azimuthally polarized signal light are analyzed, and super-resolution detection imaging can be performed on the three-dimensional distribution information of defects such as subsurface scratches, and abrasion.
