A new method precisely measures interference order in multifrequency interferometry. This technique optimizes frequency selection for maximum dynamic range and defines measurement reliability for advanced profilometry applications.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Metrology
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Multifrequency interferometry is crucial for precise distance and surface measurements.
  • Determining the absolute order of interference is a key challenge in achieving high dynamic range.
  • Existing methods often require complex calibration or have limitations in dynamic range.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel technique for measuring the absolute order of interference in multifrequency interferometry.
  • To develop an optimization criterion for selecting the minimum number of frequencies needed for maximum dynamic range.
  • To generalize the method for N frequencies and establish a definition of measurement reliability.

Main Methods:

  • An optimization criterion is introduced to guide frequency selection.
