  • Patent number: 8552732
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides an apparatus for measuring a conductive pattern on a substrate, which includes a first electro-optical modulator surrounding at least one first detecting roller; transmission rollers for transferring the substrate and allowing direct contact of the substrate and the first electro-optical modulator; a voltage supplier for providing a bias between the first electro-optical modulator and the substrate; and a first image detecting system for receiving a first detecting light reflected from a first surface of the substrate.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 8, 2013
    Assignee: Industrial Technology Research Institute
    Inventors: Yong-Tong Zou, Ding-Kun Liu, Hau-Wei Wang, Chih-Hsiang Chan
  • Publication number: 20120262612
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electro optical sensor, which comprises a light source generating device, an electro optical modulator, a supporting module, and an image capturing module. The light source generating device emits a light beam. After the electro optical modulator modulates the light beam, the modulated light beam emits onto a subject. The supporting module includes a transparent substrate, supporting the subject and allowing the modulated light beam to incidentally emit into the transparent substrate. The image capturing module converts the light beam reflected from the supporting module into a video signal.

  • Patent number: 8018601
    Abstract: A exemplary method for determining vibration displacement in interferometric scanning, in which two optical signals having a phase difference with each other of a high-coherence interferogram corresponding to a tested surface is detected for determining a shifting displacement between the reference plane of interferometric apparatus and the tested surface. In one embodiment, a series of the shifting displacements with respect to a time interval are measured for determining the vibrating frequency of the tested surface by spectrum analysis. Meanwhile, an exemplary interferometric apparatus is also disclosed for calculating the relative position between the tested surface and the reference plane of interferometric apparatus whereby the interferometric apparatus is capable of compensating influences of vibration caused by the environment or the tested surface itself so as to obtain the surface profile and vibration frequency of the tested surface.

  • Publication number: 20090168073
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cantilever sensor system and profilers as well as biosensors using the same. The cantilever sensor system comprises: an interferometric lens module; a cantilever module; and an imaging device. The interferometric lens module further comprises: a light source; a light splitting unit; and an interferometric lens; wherein a light beam emitted from the light source is projected to the cantilever module through the light splitting unit and the interferometric lens where it is reflected back to the light splitting unit so as to interfere with the reference light beam from the reference mirror. The imaging device is used for capturing interferograms caused by the interference between the light beam of the light source and the reflected beam thereof.
