Comparison of two noise reduction methods in coherence scanning interferometry for surface measurement (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Coherence scanning interferometry (CSI) can measure relatively flat surfaces with sub-nanometre precision, but the measurement noise may increase significantly if the intensity of the interferometric signal reduces when measuring non-flat surfaces or...
