Researchers developed a novel fiber probe with a ball-mounted end for precise 2D deflection sensing. This innovation significantly enhances displacement sensitivity for measuring micro-cavities, achieving sub-nanometer resolution.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Metrology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Measuring micro-cavities with high aspect ratios presents challenges due to low displacement sensitivity.
  • Existing fiber probe techniques struggle to achieve the required precision for 2D deflection sensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the displacement sensitivity of fiber probes for 2D deflection measurements.
  • To develop a novel fiber probe capable of high-resolution imaging of micro-cavities.

Main Methods:

  • A fiber probe with a ball-mounted end was designed, utilizing a segment as a cylindrical lens.
  • The probe system collimates a point light source and images it onto a camera for deflection analysis.
  • The deflection of the fiber stem is inferred from image changes captured by the camera.
