    Area of Science:

    • Optical metrology
    • Surface characterization
    • Thin film analysis

    Background:

    • Measuring large thin parallel plates presents significant challenges due to limitations in current methods.
    • Accurate surface and thickness measurements are critical for optical component manufacturing and quality control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel multi-dimensional stitching method using thickness alignment (MSuTA) for precise measurement of large thin parallel plates.
    • To address the challenges in measuring surface and thickness deviations, including those caused by elastic deformation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes sub-aperture stitching with a wavelength-tuned interferometer (WTI) and parallel plate self-interference.
    • Employs a stitching correction model based on Legendre polynomials to analyze and separate aberrations from elastic deformation under unconstrained support.
    • Analyzes the stress state of thin plates supported by a three-point unconstrained system.

    Main Results:

    • Experimental validation on a 6.3 mm thick, 6-inch parallel plate achieved stitching residuals better than 0.35 nm RMS.
    • Demonstrated superior performance compared to a 12-inch vertical interferometer, with surface and thickness deviations under 0.8 nm RMS.
    • Achieved a nearly fourfold improvement in lateral resolution, enabling more detailed surface information display.

    Conclusions:

    • The MSuTA method offers a significant advancement in measuring large thin parallel plates.
    • The technique provides high accuracy and improved resolution, crucial for manufacturing and metrology.
    • The findings offer valuable insights for analyzing elastic deformation in thin optical elements under unconstrained support.
