Interferometry technology is a measurement technology based on the principle of light

wave interference. In the field of modern precision measurement, many measurement
tasks are achieved by interference. For the solution of many measurement problems,
optical interferometry is currently the only feasible method. Compared with the general
optical imaging measurement technology, interferometry has the characteristics of large
range, high sensitivity and high precision. With the continuous progress of science and
technology, especially the emergence of laser technology and its application in the field
of interferometry, the interferometry technology has been significantly improved in terms
of range, resolution, and measurement accuracy. From classical optical techniques to
adaptive optics engineering, the fields of application of modern interferometry techniques
are constantly expanding.
Modern image sensing and computer technology have also provided a huge boost to the
development of interferometry, which has brought interferometric image reading and
processing into a new era.

Fizeau Interferometer
Fizeau thickness interferometer is a kind of commonly used interferometer, mainly used

to detect the surface shape measurement of optical plane, spherical and aspherical
surface, measurement of spherical radius of curvature and measurement of wavefront
transmission quality of various lenses, prisms and lens systems and optical systems.

The interference principle is shown in the figure. The light emitted by the monochromatic
light source is converged on the circular aperture diaphragm by the lens, and the
diaphragm is located on the focal plane of the collimating tube objective lens. The
parallel beam emitted from the collimating objective lens is reflected back on the lower
plane of the reference plane with wedge and the upper plane of the measured plane, and
then passes through the collimating objective lens and the objective lens to form a small
hole of the circular aperture diaphragm on the focal plane of the eyepiece of two images.
Adjust the micro-displacement drive table where the measured part is located so that the
two images coincide. If a CCD camera is used instead of the eyepiece, the interference
fringes can be collected and processed by a computer imaging system.

Fizeau interferometer has two kinds of plane and spherical, the former is composed of a
beam splitter, a collimating objective and a standard plane, and the latter is composed of
a beam splitter, a finite conjugate distance objective and a standard spherical surface.
The monochromatic beam is partly reflected on a standard plane or standard sphere as
a reference beam; partly transmitted and passed through the DUT is a detection beam.
The detection beam self-collimates and returns to coincide with the reference beam to
form equal-thickness interference fringes. The Fizeau plane interferometer can detect
the surface shape and uniformity of the plate or prism. The spherical shape and its
radius of curvature can be detected by the Fizeau spherical interferometer, and the
measurement accuracy of the latter is about 1 micron; it can also detect the wavefront
aberration of infinite and finite conjugate distance lenses.

In recent years, with the progress and development of digital technology and image
acquisition technology, various new types of Fiseau laser interferometers have appeared
continuously, and domestic and foreign companies have also launched corresponding
products. Combining its own technical advantages and R&D capabilities in the field of
micro-displacement phase-shifting actuators, CoreMorrow has designed a variety of
products for interferometric measurement research and development. Compared with
motor-driven and electromagnetic-driven products, piezoelectric micro-displacement
mechanisms have small size and simple structure. High precision, high resolution (nm
level), good rigidity, easy to control operation and low energy consumption, no heat, no
noise and so on.
