    摘要: Both the optical distance of the detected-light light path and the optical distance of the reference-light light path are simultaneously varied according to respective specified patterns, so that differences are created between the period of variation in the intensity of the required signal component (in the interference signals) and the periods of variation in the intensities of the coherent noise components. When the modulation scanning procedure is performed, the phase difference between the detected light and reference light in a specified state is determined as shape information for the above-mentioned detected surface on the basis of the interference signals output from the light-receiving element. As a result, it is possible to securely reduce the effects of coherent noise components generated as a result of the interference of specified noise light that has passed through at least portions of the detected-light light path and reference-light light path with the detected light or reference light.

    摘要: A point diffraction interference measuring method comprises forming a substantially ideal spherical wave by using a point light source-generating unit 101, 102, allowing a light flux composed of the spherical wave to pass through a test sample 109, thereafter dividing the light flux into two light fluxes by using an optical path-dividing element 105, allowing one light flux of the divided light fluxes to pass through a pinhole 129 to covert the one light flux into a reference light beam which is a substantially ideal spherical wave, and detecting interference fringes generated by causing interference between the reference light beam and a measuring light beam which is the other light flux of the divided light fluxes. The wavefront aberration of the test sample can be measured by observing the interference fringes without being affected by the disturbance which would be otherwise caused by any system vibration or the like.
