Synopsis

Practical Optical Dimensional Metrology [/i]provides basic explanations of the operation and application of the most common methods in the field and in commercial use. The first half of the book presents a working knowledge of the mechanism and limitations of optical dimensional measurement methods that use: light level changes, two-dimensional imaging, triangulation, structured-light patterns, interference patterns, optical focus, light characteristics such as polarization, and hybrid methods with mechanical or other measurement tools. The book concludes with a series of manufacturing application examples that look at measurements from the centimeter range down to the nanometer range.
