Abstract
Precision white light interferometry performed at the picometer class level is an extremely challenging endeavor. Over the past several years a combination of analysis, experiment, and reconciliation of the two has yielded continued improvements and refinements of the process to bring this technology to fruition. This paper provides an overview of several of the refinements of the interference models and algorithms developed for calibration and fringe estimation that have evolved over this period.
