Abstract
A light beam emitted by a light source is projected through a collimator lens, a beam splitter and an objective on a sample having a laminated structure. The light beam reflected from the sample travels through the beam splitter to a detector and the detector provides a confocal signal. The detector provides an interference signal upon the reception of the reflected light beam and a reference light beam reflected by a reference mirror. The sample and the reference mirror are moved on the basis of the confocal signal and the interference signal, and the thickness and the refractive index of layer of the sample are determined on the basis of the respective displacements of the sample and the reference mirror.

Interferometer and method for measuring characteristics of optically unresolved surface features

TL;DR: Disclosed is an interferometry analysis method that includes comparing information derivable from multiple inter-ferometry signals corresponding to different surface locations of a test object to information corresponding to multiple models of the test object, wherein the multiple models are parameterized by a series of characteristics that relate to one or more under-resolved lateral features of the object.

Refractive index measurement of spectacle lenses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach for measuring the index of refraction of glass such as spectacle lenses without measuring the surface geometry of the glass. But this approach requires the use of a source of a substantially spatially coherent beam of radiation, a beamplitter to provide a sample beam and a reference beam in response to the beam, a translatable retroreflector which reflects the reference beam, and a holder to hold the material in the path of the sample beam.
