    摘要: An image forming method uses an optical coherence tomography as to an optical axis direction of plural pieces of image information of an object. First image information of an object is obtained at a first focus with respect to an optical axis direction to then object. A focusing position is changed by dynamic focusing from the first focus to a second focus along the optical axis. The second image information of the object is obtained at the second focus. A third image information, tomography image information of the object and including a tomography image of the first focus or the second focus, is obtained by Fourier domain optical coherence tomography. A tomography image or a three-dimensional image of the object is formed in positional relation, in the optical axis direction, between the first image information and the second image information using the third image information.

    摘要: In certain aspects, disclosed methods include directing test light reflected from an object to form an image of the object on a detector, where the object includes a diffractive structure. The test light at the detector includes both specularly and non-specularly reflected light from the diffractive structure, and the diffractive structure is under-resolved in the image. The method further includes directing reference light to interfere with the test light at the detector where the reference and test light being derived from a common source, varying an optical path length difference between the test and reference light, acquiring an interference signal from the detector while varying the optical path length difference, and determining information about the diffractive structure based on the interference signal and on predetermined information derived from a mathematical model of light reflection from a model diffractive structure.

    摘要: Provided is an optical image measuring apparatus capable of obtaining a high-accuracy image without being influenced by a movement of an object to be measured. Flash light is emitted from a xenon lamp (2) and converted into broad band light by an optical filter (2A). A polarization characteristic of the flash light is converted into linear polarization by a polarizing plate (3). Then, the flash light is divided into signal light (S) and reference light (R) by a half mirror (6). A polarization characteristic of the reference light (R) is converted into circular polarization by a wavelength plate (7). The signal light (S) and the reference light (R) are superimposed on each other by the half mirror (6) to produce interference light (L). A CCD (23) detects interference light having the same characteristic as that of the produced interference light (L). The produced interference light (L) is divided into an S-polarized light component (L1) and a P-polarized light component (L2) by a polarization beam splitter (11). The polarized light components are detected by CCDs (21 and 22). A signal processing section (20) of a computer (30) forms an image of the object to be measured (O) based on detection signals from the CCDs (21, 22, and 23).
