Abstract

The design of a common-path polarimetric interferometer system, developed primarily for measuring the profiles of ‘super-smooth’ surfaces, is described and measured comparisons with a mechanical stylus technique are discussed. The instrument has a sensitivity to changes in surface height of better than 0.1 nm and is capable of a lateral resolution of 1 μm with a helium-neon laser light source.
