摘要: This paper describes an optical surface profiling system based on phase quadrature differential interferometry. The path difference between two adjacent probe beams is measured. Interference calculation and sample scanning controlled by a PC computer. Height sensitivity of the order 1 nm lateral resolution ~10 μm. Results are given which demonstrate reproducibility stability system.
