On the diffraction theory of optical images
TL;DR: The theory of image formation is formulated in terms of the coherence function in the object plane, the diffraction distribution function of the image-forming system and a function describing the structure of the object.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles of interference microscopy for the measurement of surface topography
TL;DR: Recent advances considered here include performance improvements, vibration robustness, full color imaging, accommodation of highly sloped surfaces, correlation to contact methods, transparent film analysis, and international standardization of calibration and specification.

Profiling complex surface structures using scanning interferometry
TL;DR: In this paper, a method including comparing information derived from a scanning interferometry signal for a first surface location of a test object to information corresponding to multiple models of the test object was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal vector method for convergence improvement using the RCWA for crossed gratings.
TL;DR: This work proposes to combine Popov and Nevière's formulation of the differential method with the classical RCWA, and with a suitable choice of a normal vector field achieves a better convergence than for the formulations that are known from the literature.
Patent
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.
