Area of Science:

Optical Metrology
Image Sensor Technology
Computational Imaging

Background:

Precise position measurement is critical for various optical measurement systems.
Current methods using a single measurement spot have limitations in accuracy.
Enhancing the accuracy of image-sensor based systems is an ongoing challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a new method for improving position detection accuracy in optical measurement systems.
To leverage computer-generated holograms (CGH) to enhance measurement precision.
To compare the proposed method against conventional single-spot approaches.

Main Methods:

Implementation of a computer-generated hologram placed before the imaging system.
Replication of the measurement spot into a predefined pattern using the CGH.
Utilizing center-of-gravity based averaging for spot position evaluation.
Validation through both simulated and experimental results.

Main Results:

The proposed CGH method significantly improves position detection accuracy.
An improvement factor of 3.6 was achieved compared to the conventional one-spot method.
Positioning accuracy better than 0.003 pixels was demonstrated on a standard industrial CCD sensor.

Conclusions:

Computer-generated holograms offer a viable approach to enhance accuracy in optical measurement systems.
The multi-spot replication strategy provides superior positioning precision.
The method is effective under sufficient lighting conditions for sensor exposure.
