What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Laser interferometers measure distances, surface profiles, and optical path differences with high accuracy by analyzing interference patterns created by splitting and recombining a coherent light beam.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A laser interferometer operates by splitting a laser beam into a reference path and a measurement path. When the two beams are recombined, constructive and destructive interference occurs, and the resulting fringe pattern is analyzed to determine displacement or surface deviations.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In precision optics manufacturing, a laser interferometer is used during final inspection and quality assurance to verify surface flatness, curvature, and thickness of lenses, mirrors, and prisms.

In semiconductor fabrication, similar instruments can be employed for photomask flatness measurement or for characterizing wafer surface topography, though the KIF FSPC is categorized under precision optics rather than wafer processing tools.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The KIF FSPC is applied in the measurement of flatness, parallelism, and surface figure of optical elements such as windows, beam splitters, and high-quality mirrors.
