We discuss two possibilities of using femtosecond pulse lasers as a new interferometric light source fer enhanced precision surface profile metrology. First, a train of ultra-fast laser pulses yields repeated low temporal coherence, which allows performing unequal-path scanning interferometry that is not feasible with white light. Second, high spatial coherence of femtosecond pulse lasers enables to test large size optics in non-symmetric configurations with relatively small size reference surfaces. These two advantages are verified experimentally using Fizeau and Twyman-Green type scanning interferometers.
