Abstract: Information is encoded in an image signal by exploiting spectral differences between colors that appear the same when rendered. These spectral differences are detected using image sensing that discerns the spectral differences. Spectral difference detection methods include using sensor-synchronized spectrally-structured-light imaging, 3D sensors, imaging spectrophotometers, and higher resolution Bayer pattern capture relative to resolution of patches used to convey a spectral difference signal.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including a line spectrometer that receives a point of light. The line spectrometer includes a first optical element, and a second optical element configured to convert the point of light to a line of light and to direct the line of light toward the first optical element. The first optical element defines first and second surfaces, a distance between the first and second surface varying as a function of distance along the first optical element, the first optical element thereby being configured to generate first and second reflected lines of light that reflect respectively from the first and second surfaces. A detector array receives the first and second lines of light, and generates an interferogram in response thereto. A computer processor determines a spectrum of the point of light, by analyzing the interferogram. Other applications are also described.

Abstract: A method of measuring n values of a parameter of interest (e.g., overlay) relating to a structure forming process, where n>1. The method includes performing n measurements on each of n+1 targets, each measurement performed with measurement radiation having a different wavelength and/or polarization combination and determining the n values for a parameter of interest from the n measurements of n+1 targets, each of the n values relating to the parameter of interest for a different pair of the layers. Each target includes n+1 layers, each layer including a periodic structure, the targets including at least n biased targets having at least one biased periodic structure formed with a positional bias relative to the other layers, the biased periodic structure being in at least a different one of the layers per biased target. Also disclosed is a substrate having such a target and a patterning device for forming such a target.

Abstract: A total reflection spectroscopic measurement device includes a terahertz wave generation unit, an internal total reflection prism, a detection unit configured to detect the terahertz wave, an electric field vector measurement unit configured to measure an electric field vector of the terahertz wave, and an analysis unit configured to acquire information about an optical constant of the object to be measured. Proportions of S polarization component and P polarization component of the terahertz wave are constant. The analysis unit acquires the information about the optical constant on the basis of a ratio between S polarization component and P polarization component of the measured electric field vector when the object is not arranged on the total reflection surface and a ratio between S polarization component and P polarization component of the measured electric field vector when the object is arranged on the total reflection surface.

Abstract: A device includes a first multi-element image sensor; a second multi-element image sensor; and a polarizing layer positioned between the first and second multi-element image sensors. A portion of light having a first polarization state incident on the device along a first direction is transmitted through the first image sensor, is transmitted through the polarizing layer, and is detected by the second image sensor, and light having a second polarization state orthogonal to the first polarization state incident on the device along the first direction is transmitted through the first image sensor, is blocked by the polarizing layer.

Abstract: A spectrometer includes a beam splitter that receives incident light rays and splits each of the incident light rays into first and second spatially displaced, linearly polarized light rays that respectively have first and second polarization directions orthogonal to each other; an optical member that receives the split incident light rays from the beam splitter and optically converts the split incident light rays into a plurality of light beams that are respectively guided to mutually differing locations so as to generate interference fringes in the respective locations, each of the plurality of light beams including a component of the first linearly polarized light rays and a component of the second linearly polarized light rays; and a detector that detects the interference fringes respectively generated by the plurality of light beams.

Abstract: A method and a system for measuring an optical asynchronous sample signal. The system for measuring an optical asynchronous sampling signal comprises a pulsed optical source capable of emitting two optical pulse sequences with different repetition frequencies, a signal optical path, a reference optical path, and a detection device. Since the optical asynchronous sampling signal can be measured by merely using one pulsed optical source, the complexity and cost of the system are reduced. A multi-frequency optical comb system using the pulsed optical source and a method for implementing the multi-frequency optical comb are further disclosed.
