Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a multi-wavelength and phase-shift interference double-synchronization surface real-time measurement system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the multi-wavelength and phase-shift interference double-synchronization surface real-time measurement system includes a light source 1, a collimating lens group 2 (a condenser lens 3, a pinhole 4, a collimator lens 5), a polarizer 6, a depolarizing beam splitter 7, a michelson interference module 8 (an objective lens 9, a polarizing beam splitter 10, a reference plane mirror 11, a sample to be measured 12), a beam splitting phase shift module 13 (an achromatic 1/4 wave plate 14, a depolarizing beam splitter 7, a rectangular prism 15, an analyzer array 16), an achromatic lens 17, and a color CCD imaging module 18, in this embodiment, the light source is a color light source, light generated from the light source 1 is collected by the condenser lens 3, passes through the pinhole 4 and the collimator lens 5 to obtain collimated light, enters the polarizer 6, passes through the polarizer 6 to become collimated linearly polarized light, and is reflected by the depolarizing beam splitter 7 to enter the michelson interference, the Michelson interference module 8 comprises an objective lens 9, a polarization beam splitter prism 10, a reference plane mirror 11 and a sample piece to be measured 12, wherein polarized light passing through the objective lens 9 is divided into two parts by the polarization beam splitter prism 10; wherein the reflected s component is reflected by the reference flat mirror 11 as reference light; the transmitted p-component is reflected by the surface of the sample 12 to be measured to obtain the measured surface topography and structure information thereof, and becomes the measurement light. The two reflected lights converge on the splitting plane of the polarization splitting prism 10, pass through the objective lens 9 and the depolarization splitting prism 7, enter the splitting phase shift module 13, and generate synchronous phase shift interference. When a multicolor light source (such as an RGB combined light source or a white light source) is adopted for illumination and a color camera is used for interference pattern acquisition, synchronous interference patterns of R, G, B three wave bands can be obtained simultaneously through channel decomposition of the color camera, and double synchronization of multi-wavelength and phase-shift interference is realized. The multi-wavelength interference technology can effectively expand the measuring range of single-wavelength phase shift interference, the four-channel synchronous phase shift interference technology can realize real-time measurement, and the synchronous realization of the two can form a large-range real-time interference system.
The spectral phase shift module 13 is composed of an achromatic 1/4 wave plate 14, 3 broadband depolarizing beam splitters 7, 3 rectangular prisms 15, and an analyzer array 16. One broadband depolarization beam splitting prism and one right-angle prism are combined to form one beam splitting and splitting module. The reference and measurement light first pass through achromatic 1/4 wave plate 14, forming circularly polarized light of opposite handedness. Then, the light sequentially passes through the 1 one-to-two light splitting module and the 2 one-to-two light splitting module to become parallel and symmetrical four-path light. The four paths of light then pass through analyzer arrays with polarization directions of 0, pi/4, pi/2 and 3 pi/4 respectively to realize that the phase shifts generated on the four paths of light signals are 0, pi/2, pi and 3 pi/2 respectively, and finally four interference patterns with different phase shift amounts are formed. The interference pattern is imaged on an imaging target surface of a CCD imaging module 18 through an achromatic lens 17, a synchronous phase-shifting interference pattern is obtained by a computer, and the instantaneous morphology and structure of the surface are obtained through computer analysis processing and phase reconstruction.
The multi-wavelength and phase shift interference double-synchronous surface real-time measuring system has the following measuring principle:
according to the principle of polarized light phase-shift interference, the measuring light and the reference light which are respectively incident to the measuring system areAndwherein A iso(x, y) represents the amplitude of the measuring light, Ar(x, y) represents the reference light amplitude,in order to measure the phase of the light,the phases of the reference light are perpendicular in their polarization direction.
If the included angle between the fast axis of the 1/4 wave plate and the x-axis is pi/4, and the included angle between the polarization direction of the light transmitted through the analyzer and the x-axis is β, the distribution of the interference light intensity is:
i (x, y) represents the interference pattern finally acquired by the camera,is the phase to be determined.
It is known that where the analyzer performs a phase modulation, a fixed phase shift 2 β can be introduced between the measurement light and the reference light when β changes, β depending on the design of the phase shift cellThe four paths of interference phase shifts are respectively 0, pi/2, pi and 3 pi/2 after being sequentially 0, pi/4, pi/2 and 3 pi/4. Setting:Io(x, y) and Ir(x, y) represents the intensity of the measuring light and the intensity of the reference light, respectively, and the expression of the four-path interference signal is (for convenience of expression, the coordinates (x, y) in the formula are omitted, and the same is used below):
the phase distribution to be measured is obtained according to the four-step phase shift method as follows:
the distribution of the phase reflects the instantaneous surface morphology and structure of the measured sample, and if the obtained interference phase range is within a half wavelength, the relationship between the surface height information and the phase distribution of the measured sample is shown as the following formula:
wherein z (x, y) is height information of the appearance of the measured surface, and lambda is the wavelength of light wave. When the phase wrapping range exceeds half wavelength, the phase needs to be unwrapped, and the obtained unwrapped phase phi (x, y) is obtained in the formula (4)Instead of phi (x, y), the range of height values obtained by this method is (-lambda/4, lambda/4).
However, the above calculation is only for an ideal system, i.e. the orthogonal measuring light and reference light are uniformly distributed into four channels, and the phase shift introduced by the four channels is exactly pi/2 apart from each other, but in practical cases, the distribution of the measuring light and reference light in the four channels is not uniform, and the phase shift introduced by the four channels is not exactly pi/2 apart, so the actual interference light intensity is expressed as:
in the formula IoiAnd Iri(i 1-4) represents the respective measured light intensity and reference light intensity of the four channels, respectively, and Δ γ1~Δγ4Respectively, represent the amount of phase shift actually introduced by the four channels.
In the above formula of interference light intensity, only I1~I4Is a known amount, Ioi、Iri、Δγi(i is 1 to 4) andare all unknown quantities. If the unknowns are independent of each other, it is obviously not possible to find the phase to be measured. However, for practical systems, after both the structure and the device have been determined, it is determined for the measurement light Ioi(I1-4) and a reference beam IriThe distribution of (I-1-4) should be fixed, i.e. the measurement light Ioi(i=1~4) And reference light IriAnd (i is 1-4) in a fixed proportional relation. The specific ratio can be obtained by respectively measuring the reference light intensity and the measured light intensity, the calculated proportionality coefficient can be stored as the inherent parameter of the system, and only direct calling is needed for each measurement.
