What is Optical Metrology?
Precisely Measuring through light
Optical metrology is a branch of measurement science that uses light to accurately assess the physical properties of objects—such as shape, dimensions, displacement, refractive index, surface roughness, temperature, and deformation. Thanks to the unique characteristics of light, including its non-contact and non-destructive nature, optical methods offer fast, remote, and precise measurements without disturbing the sample. These techniques rely on fundamental optical phenomena such as interference, diffraction, reflection, refraction, and absorption. They enable real-time imaging, high-resolution measurements, and the ability to investigate both surface and subsurface features of a sample.
Common techniques include interferometry and diffractometry for detecting nanoscale displacements or surface variations, spectroscopy for analyzing material composition and optical behavior. Advanced optical imaging systems, such as confocal microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, digital holographic microscopy (DHM), and optical coherence tomography (OCT), are also widely used for high-resolution and 3D imaging. Due to its precision and versatility, optical metrology plays a critical role in a wide range of applications across physics, engineering, medicine, microelectronics, photonics, biotechnology, and materials science.
