    摘要: A method for processing interferometric measurement data representative of a physical property of an object, such as the thickness of material M. A plurality of interference signals are acquired and stored with respect to a length L, and a dimension of length L over which the plurality of interference signals were acquired is determined. A location of all peaks of the interference signals is then determined with respect to a start position of the acquisition of the plurality of interference signals. The interferometer peaks which are representative of the physical property of the object are then determined and stored.

    摘要: A method for determining the optical retardation of an anisotropic material. A beam of light is directed toward a sample of the material and a portion of the reflected beam is collected from the optical interfaces of the material and directed toward an interferometer. The resulting interference signal is analyzed to determine the retardation. The retardation is determined as being the distance between particular peaks of the interference signal. In a further embodiment, light from multiple wavelength light sources is directed toward the sample of the material.

    摘要: A method of processing interferometric data relating to a sample having multiple reflective surfaces, includes the steps of: specifying a set of acceptance ranges for peaks of interest in the interferogram, based on a knowledge of the sample; determining which peaks in the interferogram fall within the acceptance ranges; identifying which peaks within the acceptance ranges represent multiple reflections and eliminating these peaks from the interferometric data; identifying acceptance ranges which do not contain peaks; and employing other peaks in the interferogram to calculate the locations of peaks in the acceptance ranges that do not contain peaks.

    摘要: A method of simultaneously measuring the thickness, group index of refraction, and top and bottom surface profiles of a sample, includes the steps of locating the sample between a surface of a transparent optical flat and a parallel reflective surface such that the respective optical distances between any two of the surface of the optical flat, the top surface of the sample, the bottom surface of the sample, and the reflective surface are distinct and in a known relative optical distance relationship, the distance between the surface of the transparent optical flat and the parallel reflective surface being known. A low-coherent light interferometer operating in an autocorrelation configuration is employed to measure the distance between the optical flat surface and the top surface of the sample, the optical thickness of the sample, and the distance between the bottom surface of the sample and the reflective surface at a plurality of locations over the sample, employing the known relative optical distance relationships. Top and bottom surface profiles and a thickness profile of the sample are generated from the measured distances and the known distance between the surface of the transparent optical flat and the parallel reflective surface. An group index of refraction profile is generated from the measured optical thickness and bottom surface profiles.
