Abstract:
Provided are a transparent substrate monitoring apparatus and a transparent substrate monitoring method. The transparent substrate monitoring apparatus includes a light emitting unit emitting light; a double slit disposed on a plane defined in a first direction and a second direction intersecting a propagation direction of incident light and includes a first slit and a second slit spaced apart from each other in the first direction to allow the light to pass therethrough; an optical detection unit measuring an intensity profile or position of an interference pattern formed on a screen plane; and a signal processing unit receiving a signal from the optical detection unit to calculate an optical phase difference or an optical path difference.
Abstract:
A frequency- stabilized laser apparatus and a method for stabilizing the frequency of a laser are disclosed. A semiconductor laser emits a beam. An external reflector has a resonance frequency and feeds back the emitted beam to the semiconductor laser if the frequency of the emitted beam is equal to the resonance frequency. An interference signal generator generates an interference signal for detecting the wavelength of the emitted beam and a controller detects the wavelength of the beam from the generated interference signal. According to the frequency- stabilized laser apparatus and the method for stabilizing the frequency of the laser, it is possible to stabilize the frequency of the beam emitted from the semiconductor laser and output the beam having the stable frequency for a long period of time.
