Abstract

Several systems have recently been developed that apply various modulations onto the optical beams in order to both enhance the contrast from particular features and to reduce the effects of noise and microphonics. Consequently different imaging responses may be obtained at different photodetector output frequencies. This paper analyses a selection of AC profilometer systems by extending the analysis used for the conventional scanning optical microscope.
