Patent attributes
A method is disclosed including: generating a scanning interferometry signal at each of multiple wavelengths for each of at least one location on a test object; obtaining the scanning interferometry signals at each of the multiple wavelengths for each of at least one location on the test object; analyzing the scanning interferometry signals to determine information about the test object; and outputting the information about the test object. Each scanning interferometry signal corresponds to interference between test light and reference light as an optical path length difference between the test and reference light is varied. The test and reference light are derived from a common source, and the test light emerges from the test object over a range of angles corresponding to a numerical aperture of greater than 0.7.
