Determination of fringe order in white-light interference microscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Combining phase and coherence information for improved precision in white-light interference microscopy requires a robust strategy for dealing with the inconsistencies between these two types of information. We correct for these inconsistencies on every measurement by direct analysis of the difference map between the coherence and the phase profiles. The algorithm adapts to surface texture and noise level and dynamically compensates for optical aberrations, distortions, diffraction, and dispersion that would otherwise lead to incorrect fringe order. The same analysis also provides the absolute height data that are essential to relational measurements between disconnected surfaces.
