  • Compact, Slope Sensitive Optical Probe
    Publication number: 20150077759
    Abstract: An optical probe system has a light source fiber-delivered and the detector fiber-coupled for analyzing carrier fringes using a line sensor to measure displacement and tilt. Simultaneous surface metrology to measure both the front and back surface of the same optic, is enabled provided the two surfaces are substantially parallel to within the measurement range. Alternatively, the front surface can be measured and then subsequently the back surface.
