ABSTRACT:
An interferometric profiler is used to measure object motion by modifying the motion of the scanner so that the phase variation at each scanning step is kept within the acceptable limits of the algorithm used to calculate phase changes. The scanner motion is so manipulated on the basis of prior knowledge about the nature of the object motion, or knowledge obtained by pre-calibration, or by real-time feedback based on current measurements. The object motion is recovered from the scanning information by subtracting the scanner position from the object position as it evolves during the scan.
