Abstract:
Deformations of a surface of a test object can be measured by attaching mirrors to a surface of a test object, each mirror having a reflective surface with a dimension and a radius of curvature smaller than those of the surface of the test object. Light is directed towards the mirrors and a reference surface, and interference patterns are generated using light reflected from the mirrors and the reference surface. Changes in the surface of the test object are determined based on the interference patterns.
