description | Chromatic confocal technology (CCT) is one of the most promising methods for the contactless and accurate measurement of structure profiles. Based on the principles of chromatic dispersion and confocal theory, a dispersion probe is proposed and optimized with several commercial and cheap refractive index lenses. The probe provides 0.3× magnification and a dispersion range of 400 μm with a commercial LED source with an effective bandwidth of ca. 450–623 nm. Since the noise fluctuation can affect the extraction stability of the focal wavelength, a modification to the centroid peak extraction algorithm is proposed in this paper, where several virtual pixels are interpolated among the real pixels of the spectrometer before thresholding. In addition, a series of experiments were carried out to test the system’s displacement measurement performance. The results clearly show that stability is improved by the modified algorithm, and the calibration repeatability is ±0.3 μm in the full measurement range with a linear stage. The standard deviation at the fixed position has an optimal value of 0.009 μm. The section profile of a Fresnel lens is measured by the CCT system to demonstrate its high feasibility and efficiency. |
