A novel white-light scanning interferometer for absolute nano-scale gap thickness measurement

This paper presents a special configuration of white-light scanning interferometer, in which the measured gap is not located in any interference arm of the interferometer, but acts as an amplitude-and-phase modulator of the light source. Compared to the common white-light interferometer, the approac...
