Abstract

To estimate the root mean square roughness (σ) of a surface from reflected power, it is necessary to know the diffuse reflectance (DR) and the reflectance (SSR) of a smooth surface made from the same material as the rough surface. In our study, σ is estimated from value of power reflected from one-dimensionally rough steel surfaces in the specular direction without considering SSR and DR. An expression describing dependence of an error of the estimation on SSR and DR is derived. Linear polarized light with λ=660nm and the azimuth of polarization of 49° was used in the experiment. The angle of incidence was varied from 30° to 74°. It was found that absolute relative errors caused by influence of SSR and DR are smaller than 0.03 in the angular ranges of 46-54° and 30-58° for σ=10.2nm and σ = 49.8nm, respectively. Out of these ranges, SSR is the main reason for the errors lying in the wide range of ~0.05-2.5.

1. Introduction

Remote optical methods for estimating the root mean square (rms) roughness of a surface from reflected power have been studied in many scientific works. Part of these works (e.g., [1

]) is based on the assumption that contribution of the diffuse reflectance RD (θ) to reflectance R (θ) in the specular direction is negligible. In this case the general relation for R (θ)[12

R (θ)= R0 (θ) RS (θ),

where θ is the angle of incidence defined as the angle between the direction of incident light and the normal to the surface; R0 (θ) is the reflectance of a smooth surface made from the same material as the rough surface; RS (θ)=exp [ ( 4πσcosθ/λ)2] is the specular reflectance of a perfectly conducting rough surface; σ is the rms roughness of the rough surface; and λ is the wavelength.

] optical constants of the smooth surface were determined from measurements performed for a rough surface and value of R0 (θ) was calculated from these constants.

In the present paper, the rms roughness is estimated from value of power reflected from one-dimensionally rough steel surfaces in the specular direction without considering the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance. Influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance on an error of the estimation of the rms roughness is studied. In Section 2, a relation describing dependence of the estimation error on the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance is derived from the scattering theory [13

] for a one-dimensionally rough surface. In Section 3, influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance on the estimation error is analyzed from experimental data. The surfaces with the rms roughness of 10.2nm and 49.8nm and linear polarized light with the wavelength of 660nm and the azimuth of polarization of 49° were used in the experiment. The results are summarized in Section 4.

2. Basic relations

As it follows from the scattering theory, the average power P ( θ,α) scattered in the specular direction from a one-dimensionally rough surface having stationary roughness illuminated by linear polarized light can be described by the relation:
P ( θ,α)= PS ( θ,α)+ PD ( θ,α) = PI R0 ( θ,α) [ RS (θ)+ RD (θ)],
(3)
where α is the azimuth of polarization of the incident light defined as the angle between the polarization plane and the plane of incidence; PS ( θ,α) is the power of the specularly reflected light; PD ( θ,α) is the power diffusely scattered in the specular direction; PI is the incident power; R0 ( θ,α)= R || (θ) cos2α+ R (θ) sin2α [14

M. Born, and E. Wolf, Principles of Optics (Pergamon Press, 1968), Chap. 1.

]; the || and ⊥ symbols correspond to α = 0 and α = 90°, respectively; the functions R || (θ) and R (θ) depend on the angle of incidence and the optical constants.

Taking into account Eq. (3), a logarithmic index ln [ P ( θ1,α)/P ( θ2,α)] which describes variation of the function P ( θ,α) in the θ range from θ1 to θ2 can be written as:
ln [ P ( θ1,α) P ( θ2,α)]=ln [ R0 ( θ1,α) R0 ( θ2,α)] + ( 4πσλ)2 ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1)+ln [ 1+ RD ( θ1)/ RS ( θ1) 1+ RD ( θ2)/ RS ( θ2)] = ( 4πσλ)2 ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1) [ 1+ A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2)],
(4)
where
A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)= ln [ R0 ( θ1,α)/ R0 ( θ2,α)] ( 4πσ/λ)2 ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1)
(5)
and

AD ( θ1, θ2)= ln { [ 1+ RD ( θ1)/ RS ( θ1)] / [ 1+ RD ( θ2)/ RS ( θ2)]} ( 4πσ/λ)2 ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1).
(6)

Here the function A0 ( θ1, θ2,α) characterizes the influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface on the index ln [ P ( θ1,α)/P ( θ2,α)] and the function AD ( θ1, θ2) is the characteristics of influence of the diffuse reflectance on the index ln [ P ( θ1,α)/P ( θ2,α)].

If to assume that the influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance on ln [ P ( θ1,α)/P ( θ2,α)] is weak, that is:
| A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2)|<<1,
(7)
then Eq. (4) can be written as:
ln P ( θ1,α) P ( θ2,α) ( 4πσλ)2 ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1).
(8)
From Eq. (8) we obtain the relation for estimation of the rms roughness:

σ ( θ1, θ2,α)= λ 4π ln [ P ( θ1,α)/P ( θ2,α)] cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1.
(9)

Also the relation for σ, which follows from Eq. (4), can be written as:

σ= λ 4π ln [ P ( θ1,α)/P ( θ2,α)] ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1) [ 1+ A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2)].
(10)

Then the relative estimation error Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) characterizing influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance on the estimation of σ:
Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α)= [ σ σ ( θ1, θ2,α)]/σ
(11)
can be written in the final form:

Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α)=1 1+ A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2).
(12)

3. Experimental study

The experimental study was performed for two plane steel samples having one-dimensionally rough surfaces [15

GOST 9378–75, Standards of a rough surface (in Russian).

]. Statistical characteristics of the surfaces were determined with a Talystep profiler and the TalyProfile 3.2.0 program according to ISO 4288:1996 [16

ISO 4288:1996(E), Geometrical product specifications (GPS) - Surface texture: Profile method - Rules and procedures for the assessment of surface texture.

]. The profiler had a shovel-shaped stylus with tip dimensions of 0.1μm × 2.5μm with the 0.1μm dimension in the traverse direction perpendicular to the grooves.

For each sample, thirty profiles were measured. The sampling length of the profiles was 0.08mm for the sample #1 and 0.25mm for the sample #2. In the measurements, the Gaussian filter was used and the cut-off wavelength equaled to the sampling length. From profile data, the average rms roughness, the height probability density function, and the height autocorrelation function were estimated. Shape of the estimated functions was close to Gaussian. Value of σ and correlation length T were respectively 10.2nm and 328nm for the sample #1 and 49.8nm and 472nm for the sample #2.

A schematic diagram of a goniometric instrument used for the experimental study is shown in Fig. 1 . A light beam (λ=660 nm) of a LasirisTM semiconductor laser passed through a circular aperture (2) and a Glan prism (3) and illuminated a steel surface (4). Azimuth of polarization of the laser beam incident on the surface was 49°. Light reflected from the surface passed through a neutral density filter (5) and a circular aperture (6) onto a Hamamatsu S2281-01 silicon diode (7). Output signal of the diode was digitized by a Hamamatsu C9329 photosensor (8) connected to a computer (9). The θ1 angle was varied from 30° to 70° with the increment of Δθ= 4. The value of θ2 was θ1+Δθ.

In the experiment, it was measured the P ( θ1,α) power and the P ( θ2,α) one reflected inthe specular direction and PD ( θ1 4,α) power and PD ( θ2 4,α) one diffusely scattered out of the specular direction at the θ1 4 angle and the θ2 4 one.

We assumed that the scattering theory is valid for the experiment. This assumption was based on the experimental results [2

].

The measured values of P ( θ1,α) and P ( θ2,α) were used to determine the experimental value of σ ( θ1, θ2,α) from Eq. (9). Values of Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) were calculated from Eq. (11) with use of the σ values obtained with the profiler and the values of σ ( θ1, θ2,α) determined from Eq. (9). The values of A0 ( θ1, θ2,α) and AD ( θ1, θ2) were also determined experimentally. Assuming that PD ( θ1,α)= PD ( θ1 4,α) and PD ( θ2,α)= PD ( θ2 4,α), values of the terms of Eqs. (5) and (6) were determined from the relations:
ln R0 ( θ1,α) R0 ( θ2,α)=ln PS ( θ1,α) PS ( θ2,α) ( 4πσλ)2 ( cos2 θ2 cos2 θ1),
(13)
RD ( θ1) RS ( θ1)= PD ( θ1,α) PS ( θ1,α),
(14)
RD ( θ2) RS ( θ2)= PD ( θ2,α) PS ( θ2,α),
(15)
where
PS ( θ1,α)=P ( θ1,α) PD ( θ1 4,α)
(16)
and

PS ( θ2,α)=P ( θ2,α) PD ( θ2 4,α).
(17)

Figure 2 shows the experimental values of Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) corresponding to the experimental values of A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2) and the plot of the theoretical dependence of Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) on A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2) described by Eq. (12). As we can see from Fig. 2, values of the estimation errors calculated from Eq. (12) are in good agreement with that obtained experimentally.

Fig. 2 Theoretical values of Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) obtained from Eq. (12) (solid line) and the experimental values of Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) corresponding to the experimental values of A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2). The square and triangle symbols correspond to the experimental values for σ = 10.2nm and σ = 49.8nm, respectively.

In Fig. 3 , the experimental values of the functions Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α), A0 ( θ1, θ2,α), AD ( θ1, θ2), and A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2) are presented for the samples #1 and #2.

Fig. 3 Experimental values of A0 ( θ1, θ2,α), AD ( θ1, θ2), A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2), and Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α) for σ=10.2nm (a) and σ=49.8nm (b). The, , “, 8, and x symbols correspond to Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α), A0 ( θ1, θ2,α), AD ( θ1, θ2), and A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2), respectively.

As we can see from Figs. 3(a) and 3(b), the inequality | A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)+ AD ( θ1, θ2)|<0.06 is fulfilled in the θ1 ranges of 46-54° and 30-58° for σ=10.2nm and σ=49.8nm, respectively. For these θ1 ranges, value of | Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α)| is smaller than 0.03. That shows that influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance on the estimation of the rms roughness is weak in these θ1 ranges. Out of these θ1 ranges, the | Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α)| values are in the wide range of ~0.05-2.5. Since | A0 ( θ1, θ2,α)|>> | AD ( θ1, θ2)|, we can consider that the main contribution to these estimation errors is connected with the reflectance of the smooth surface. Note that increase of σ leads to decrease of this contribution and increase of contribution of the diffuse reflectance to | Δ σ ( θ1, θ2,α)|.

4. Conclusions

It was studied estimation of the rms roughness from value of power reflected from one-dimensionally rough steel surfaces in the specular direction without considering the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance. An expression describing dependence of an error of the estimation on the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance was derived from the scattering theory for a one-dimensionally rough surface. Influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance on the estimation error was studied experimentally for the one-dimensionally rough steel surfaces. Linear polarized light with the wavelength of 660nm and the azimuth of polarization of 49° was used. The angle of incidence was varied from 30° to 74°. The dependence of the estimation error on the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance obtained experimentally was in good agreement with that obtained from the derived expression. It was found that absolute relative errors caused by influence of the reflectance of the smooth surface and the diffuse reflectance are smaller than 0.03 in the angular ranges of 46-54° and 30-58° for σ = 10.2nm and σ = 49.8nm, respectively. Out of these ranges, the reflectance of the smooth surface is the main reason for the errors lying in the wide range of ~0.05-2.5. It was also found that the errors caused by the reflectance of the smooth surface decrease with increasing the rms roughness.
