Grating interferometer for flatness testing

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Two diffraction gratings placed in front of a flat surface generate an interference pattern representing the surface deformations. The interference pattern is achromatic and has an equivalent wavelength between 4 and 40 μm, depending on the grating frequencies and the viewing angle. Using phase-shifting techniques, the grating interferometer provides high-precision profile measurements of both smooth and rough surfaces.
