Description
Summary:White light interferometry is a widely used tool to extend the unambiguous measurement range of a monochromatic interferometer. In this work, we discuss Hilbert transformation analysis of a single white light interferogram acquired with a single-chip color CCD camera for step height measurement which lies beyond the unambiguous range of the monochromatic interferometry. The color interferogram is decomposed and phase maps for red, green, and blue components are calculated independently using Hilbert transformation. This procedure makes the measurement faster, simpler, and cost-effective. The usefulness of the technique is demonstrated on micro-sample.
