Optimally Suited for Reflectivity Measurement of Extremely Small Parts and Lenses

Olympus has designed a new dedicated objective lens that provides non-contact measurements across an area of 17 to 70 μm diameters. The new lens provides high repeatability on even curved surfaces or minute electronic parts.

Principle of backside reflection elimination

Anti-reflection Processing is Not Required on the Back of the Sample

Accurate measurement of surface reflectivity can be performed without the costly steps needed to prevent rear surface reflection. Rear surface-reflected light is reduced by means of special optics that block all out-of-focus light reflection similar to a confocal system. Whether your optical component is spherical,aspherical or flat, the USPM-RU-W does not require sample preparation through anti-reflection treatments.

Available Film Thickness Measurement Methods

The single-layer or multi-layer film thickness can be analyzed according to the measured spectral reflectivity data. You can select the optimum measurement method for the application.

Peak valley film thickness analysis result

Peak-valley Method

This method is used to calculate film thickness based on the periods between the peaks and valleys of the measured spectral reflectivity value, and is effective for measuring single-layer film. No complicated settings are required, so measuring film thickness is easy.

Fourier transform film thickness analysis result

Fourier Transform Method

This method is used to calculate film thickness based on the periods between measured spectral reflectivity values, and is effective for measuring single-layer and multilayer films. The Fourier transform method eliminates noise, thus making analysis possible when it is difficult to detect peak and valley values.

Curve fitting film thickness analysis result

Curve Fit Method

This method is used to calculate film thickness by estimating which structure has the smallest difference between the measured spectral reflectivity and the calculated reflectivity for that structure, and is effective for measuring single-layer and multilayer films. The curve fit method also makes it possible to analyze thin film in which peak and valley values are not apparent.
