Abstract
The objective of this work was the development of a noncontact method for the measurement of the wavyness of polished surfaces. To obtain simplified measuring procedures interferometric methods were abandoned in favor of a focus seeking system that was developed earlier for machined surface inspection. The system is based on differential detection of the reflected light through two properly prepared and adjusted filters. The filter structure and alignment were investigated to obtain linear response and maximum sensitivity that amounted to 20nm in preliminary experiments.
