Measurement Principle (Confocal Spectral Interferometry )
The light from a white-light point source W passes through an interferometric
objective L and a reference plate R before it reaches the sample surface.
The superposition of the light beams reflected from the sample surface
and from the reference plate generates an interference phenomenon.
The reflected beams pass through the interferometric lens L in the opposite direction, and arrive at a pinhole P which filters out all light rays except those originating from the object point M.
The spectrometer S measures the channeled spectrum of the interference
signal.
The thickness of the air gap between the sample and the reference plate
can be extracted with sub-nanometric resolution from the spectral phase
of this spectrum.
