Grazing-incidence interference microscopy for the measurement of topography of fine-machined surfaces

1993 , Spur, G. , Körner, K. , Nyarsik, L. , Fritz, H. , Uhlmann, E.

A possibility for measuring the form, waviness and roughness of fine-machined surfaces by interferometric means is discussed. A variety of fine-machined surfaces shows parameters in the range of microns. So it is necessary to increase the interferometric increment in a two-beam-interferometer with visible light by grazing incidence illumination. This principle was investigated in a new prism interferometer and in a new grazing incidence microscope. Test measurements are represented and discussed.

Imaging characteristics of prism interferometers

1993 , Spur, G. , Nyarsik, L. , Körner, K.

The micro topography of technical surfaces was measured with a prism interferometer. A new anamorphic double-module serving as an interference head was designed for this purose. This interference head provides a shear-free-two-beam interference image and allows computer-controlled phase-shifting for phase-sampling methods. The distance between the specimen's surface and the module may exceed 1 mm. A mathematical-physical model for prism interferometers was worked out to properly evaluate the information on the surface which has had been gained by means of interferometric images.

Evaluation of interference patterns in a prism interferometer

1993 , Spur, G. , Nyarsik, L. , Körner, K. , Fritz, H.

Prism interferometers allow a ten times enlargement of the interference increment by means of grazing incidence of the objects's surface. Experiments were performed attempting to use a prism interferometer for measuring both the macro profile and the micro structure of technical surfaces. Because anamorphic elements are used in the prism interferometer, it was necessary to carry out a theoretical analysis of the system's imaging characteristics. An experimental method was suggested and experiments with a prototype system were performed.
