摘要
Very recently, we developed a computer-controlled low-coherence interferometer system with precise translation stages for simultaneous measurement of refractive index and thickness. Both phase and group indices can be determined automatically in a wide thickness range of 20 mu m to a few mm. This paper presents the system configuration and the measurement principle accompanied with typical examples of automatic measurement.
