Abstract
Abstract
Displacement measuring interferometers, commonly employed for traceable measurements at the nanoscale, suffer from non-linearities in the measured displacement that limit the achievable measurement uncertainty for microscopic displacements. Two closely related novel non-linearity correction methodologies are presented here that allow for the correction of non-linearities in cases where the displacement covers much less than a full optical fringe. Both corrections have been shown, under ideal conditions, to be capable of reducing all residual non-linearity harmonics to below the 10 pm level.
