    Abstract: A refractive index measurement method uses an interference optical system which divides light from a light source having a plurality of discrete wavelengths into test light and reference light, causes the test light transmitted through the target to interfere with the reference light, and detect the interference light. The refractive index measurement method determines a first optical delay amount of the interference optical system so that a first and a second wavelength become adjacent to a wavelength corresponding to an extremal value of a phase of the interference light, measures phases of interference light at the first and second wavelengths at the first optical delay amount, and calculates a phase difference between a plurality of the discrete wavelengths at a predetermined optical delay amount using the first optical delay amount, the phases of the interference light at the first and second wavelengths to calculate the refractive index of the target.

    Abstract: An instantaneous phase-shift interferometer uses a light source having a coherence length shorter than a difference in optical path length between the light reflected from a reference surface and the light reflected from a measured surface. A beam from the light source is split and, using an adjustable delay optical path, a first beam is delayed to cause a difference in optical path length and is superimposed on the same optical axis as a second beam, after which the reference beam and the measurement beam are generated. The optical path length of the delay optical path is changed during adjustment, a plurality of interference fringe images are individually captured, and at least one of a bias, amplitude, and phase shift amount of the interference fringes obtained in each of the interference fringe images is calculated. A shape of a measured object is measured based on bias calculation results, amplitude calculation results, and phase shift amount calculation results.
