The relative position of the eyeballs in the orbit can be a criterion for estimating multiple pathological conditions. Especially, it is useful to diagnose orbital fracture, thyroid eye disease, orbital tumor, and to evaluate the result of drug and surgical treatment. The Hertel and the Naugle exophthalmometer, which are typical measuring instruments used mainly to measure the protrusion of the eye, are inevitably error by the measurer. In this paper, we propose a method to increase the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement of eyeball exophthalmometric values by using a white light interferometer.

We present an interferometer system, which is able to perform both the phase shifting interferometry and white light interferometry. The interferometer system uses a d.c. motor to control the probe position with an accuracy of 10nm, which shows an outstanding performance on white light interferometry. However, the moving mechanism of d.c. motor is not accurate enough for the phase shifting interferometry that requires a moving precision less than 1 nm. We therefore propose a Fourier transform technique to calculate the phase of interferograms, which is strongly resistant to calibration errors and external vibration. Experimental results show that the Fourier transform technique is capable of reducing the measurement error caused by inaccurate movement within 0.1nm.

Scanning white-light interferometry is an important measurement option for many surfaces. However, serious profile measurement errors can be present when measuring free-form surfaces being highly curved or tilted. When the object surface slope is not zero, the object and reference rays are no longer common path and optical aberrations impact the measurement. Aberrations mainly occur at the beam splitter in the interference objective and from misalignment in the optical system. Both effects distort the white-light interference signal when the surface slope is not zero. In this paper, we describe a modified version of white-light interferometry for eliminating these measurement errors and improving the accuracy of white-light interferometry. Moreover, we report systematic errors that are caused by optical aberrations when the object is not flat, and compare our proposed method with the conventional processing algorithm using the random ball test.

The white-light scanning interferometer (WSI) is an effective optical measurement system for high-precision industries (e.g., flat-panel display and electronics packaging manufacturers) and semiconductor manufacturing industries. Its major disadvantages include a slow image-capturing speed for interferogram acquisition and a high computational cost for peak-detection on the acquired interferogram. Here, a WSI system is proposed for the semiconductor inspection process. The new imaging acquisition technique uses an 'on-the-fly' imaging system. During the vertical scanning motion of the WSI, interference fringe images are sequentially acquired at a series of pre-defined lens positions, without conventional stepwise motions. To reduce the calculation time, a parallel computing method is used to link multiple personal computers (PCs). Experiments were performed to evaluate the proposed high-speed WSI system.

산업이 고도로 발달함에 따라 생산 부품의 소형화와 정밀도가 크게 요구되고 있다. 특히 최첨단 제품인 반도체와 광통신 부품, 그리고 광학 부품 등에 있어 이러한 추세가 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 이에 따라 이들 부품들에 대한 제조 공정 못지 않게 초정밀 측정에 대한 관심도 꾸준히 늘고 있다. 뿐만아니라 요즘 새롭게 부각되고 있는 생명 공학 기술(Bio-Technology)과 나노기술(Nano-Technology)을 이용한 바이오센서나 칩, 그리고 타소 나노 튜브 등을 제작하거나 검사를 할 때도 초정밀 측정을 필요로 하게 된다.
