Abstract: Provided is an optical interference measuring apparatus including a measuring unit for acquiring an interferogram of an interference wave obtained by irradiating a measuring target and a reference surface with electromagnetic waves and causing reflected waves from a reflecting surface of the measurement target and reflected waves from the reference surface to interfere and a signal processing unit for configuring an intensity profile in the depth direction by performing Fourier transform of the interferogram. The signal processing unit is configured to estimate a parameter for a model formula for an assumed surface count, based on the model formula of an interferogram when it is assumed that the measurement target has a predetermined structure, to select an optimal model by a statistical technique from the model formula to which a parameter estimated for the assumed surface count is applied, and to reconfigure an intensity profile based on the optimal model.

Abstract: A method of designing a container of a liquid reflection inclination sensor includes a liquid surface calculating step (S1) that calculates a shape of a liquid surface of a liquid in a horizontal direction “x” and a vertical direction “y” by utilizing the Young-Laplace formula and the hydrostatic pressure formula, the liquid surface formed on a plate extending vertically and infinitely with respect to a horizontal part of the liquid surface, an optical simulation step (S2) that obtains a light receiving pattern by reflecting a dark field pattern (4′) irradiated from an imaginary light source (2′) on an imaginary mirror plane (9a′) having the shape of the liquid surface, and a container adjusting step (S3-S4) that adjusts a shape of a cylindrical container (10) for enclosing the liquid by judging whether image accuracy of the light receiving pattern satisfies demanded sensor accuracy.
