Patent attributes
A vibration-resistant interferometric scanning system and method are provided in the present invention. In the present invention, the brightness distribution in a high-coherence interference pattern is analyzed so as to perform a compensation action to lock the brightness distribution of a high-coherence interference pattern and consequently locking the fringe distribution of a low-coherence interference pattern or to perform a scanning operation composed of plural shifting actions with specified scanning distances in sequence and plural compensation actions to lock the fringe distribution in a low-coherence interference pattern corresponding to the surface profile of a measured object. Consequently, with the system and method of the present invention, the surface profile of a measured object disturbed by external or internal vibrations can be measured accurately and precisely.
