29 August 2011Submicron feature surface mapping interferometer for hard-to-access locations
This paper describes a compact, imaging Twyman-Green interferometer to measure small features such as corrosion pits,
scratches and digs on hard to access objects such as assembled parts. The shoebox size interferometer was designed to
guarantee proper orientation and working distance relative to the inspected section. The system also provides an
extended acceptance angle to permit the collection at selected view points on a subject. We will describe the various
image shifting techniques investigated as part of the prototype. All the components with the exception of power supplies
were integrated into an enclosure. The interferometer has been demonstrated to provide sub-micron depth resolution and
diffraction limited spatial resolution (a few microns). This paper will present the final performance achieved with the
system and provide examples of applications.
