Abstract
A wavelength-selective interferometer based on the multimode oscillation of a laser diode is proposed and is used to conduct step height measurements. A selective spectrum allows us to generate a wide range of synthetic wavelengths. A repeatability of 6.4 nm is observed in the measurements for 200 µm of step height conducted by the proposed system.
