Metrology Capabilities

 

Testing and Certification
  • Surface form with calibration accuracy better than 5 nm over scales from <1 mm to 300 mm.
  • Surface roughness calibration to 0.1 nm.
  • Inspection of optical properties of materials.
  • Roundness, mechanical dimensional certification and measurement.
Measuring a precision sphere
Large Aperture Digital Interferometer (LADI) performance/specifications
  • Short term repeatability over 320 mm aperture = 0.5 nm.
  • Measurement reproducibility: ± 3.5 nm (mostly power term) over 320 mm aperture; ± 1.0 nm over 150 mm aperture.
  • Spatial frequency response 1.5/mm to 0.0031/mm.
  • Customisable phase-shifting algorithms e.g. error compensating 7 samples, tunable multi-surface (e.g. 32 samples).
  • • Aperture extendable beyond 320 mm by stitching software.
Example Specifications
  • ETM radius 7.4 km ± 220 metres (675 nm sag with ± 20 nm uncertainty).
  • Astigmatism < 10 nm P-V.
  • RMS surface errors (power and astig. removed):
    • < 1.6 nm, spatial frequencies < 4.3 cm-1
    • < 0.2 nm, spatial frequencies 4.3 - 7,500 cm-1
