摘要:
A microinterferometer applies low coherent measurement light, which travels along an optical axis in a converging manner, to a front surface of a flange. A part of the measurement light is reflected inside an interferometric optical system, and becomes reference light. Apart of the measurement light passed through the interferometric optical system is reflected from the front surface of the flange, and is incident again upon the interferometric optical system. By combining the reflected light with the reference light, interference light is obtained. While a sample rotating stage rotates a sample lens through 360 degrees, a first imaging camera having one-dimensional image sensor captures 3600 images of the interference light, i.e., the image of the interference light is captured every time the sample lens is rotated by 0.1 degrees. Based on the images of interference fringes, the shape of the front surface of the flange is analyzed.

A measurement jig having a position indicator is set so as to rotate integrally with a sample, and a magnified image of the position indicator formed by a microscope is picked up by an imaging camera at plural time points during the rotation of the sample. A movement locus of the magnified images picked up is founded, and position variation amount of a rotation center line of the sample is calculated on the basis of the found movement locus.

A test surface is rotatable around a rotation axis and an interferometer main unit is movable with respect to a test surface so that an observation area is moved on the test surface which is rotating. While the observation area is moved within the test surface, an interfering light beam is successively captured by a one-dimensional image sensor, straight belt form observation-position-specific interference fringes formed by the interfering light beam are successively imaged, and the shape information of the test surface is obtained based on the imaged observation-position-specific interference fringes.

A wavefront measuring apparatus for optical pickup includes: a beam splitting section; a wavefront shaping section; a beam combining section that generate interference light; an interference fringe image-acquiring section that acquires an interference fringe image including wavefront information of the light beam; and an analyzing section that analyzes a wavefront of the light beam on the basis of the interference fringe image. The analyzing section includes: an image processing section that performs a filtering process on the interference fringe image to eliminate a frequency component corresponding to the sub beam, so as to acquire the filtering-processed interference fringe image, and a wavefront analyzing section that analyzes a wavefront of the main beam on the basis of the filtering-processed interference fringe image.

An aspheric surface measuring apparatus includes a sample holder mechanism and an interferential optical mechanism, and performs optical interferometric measurement while rotating a sample every time a measurement angle is varied. The sample holder mechanism has a first air spindle for rotating the sample about a test surface axis and a first airslide. The first airslide carries the sample orthogonally or parallel to the test surface axis. The interference optical mechanism has an interference optical system, a first imaging system, and a second imaging system, a second air spindle, and a second airslide. The second spindle revolves or turns the interference optical system and the first and second imaging systems integrally to change a measurement angle between the measurement optical axis and the test surface axis. The second airslide carries the second air spindle orthogonally to the moving direction of the first airslide.
摘要:
While a ferrule held by a clamping apparatus is rotated by a predetermined angle, respective interference fringe images of a spherical leading end part of the ferrule are obtained at three or more rotational positions. Respective interference fringe center positions are obtained in thus obtained three or more interference fringe images. The center position of a circle passing near each of the interference fringe center positions is calculated and defined as a measured center position. Relative distance information between the measured center position and a position corresponding to the rotational center position of the spherical leading end part of the ferrule or the relative distance information and relative directional information thereof are outputted as an inclination error adjustment value for the axis of the ferrule.
摘要:
In a fringe analysis method using Fourier transform, fringe image data is determined in a state where a wavefront from an object and a wavefront from a reference are relatively inclined with respect to each other by a minute amount, and a carrier fringe occurring due to this inclination is superposed on a fringe occurring due to wavefront information of the object. The inclination is set such that the carrier frequency occurring due to the inclination is a predetermined multiple of the basic frequency determined by the wavefront information of the object and observing means.
摘要:
The relative position of a test surface is sequentially changed from a reference position where a surface central axis is aligned with a measurement optical axis such that the measurement optical axis is sequentially moved to a plurality of annular regions obtained by dividing the test surface in a diametric direction. The test surface is rotated on a rotation axis whenever the relative position is changed. Measurement light composed of a plane wave is radiated to the rotating test surface, and a one-dimensional image sensor captures interference fringes at each of a plurality of rotational positions. The shape information of each annular region is calculated on the basis of the captured interference fringes at each rotational position, and the shape information is connected to calculate the shape information of the entire measurement region.
