Displacement sensor using channelled spectrum dispersed on a linear CCD array

Abstract

A novel form of low coherence interferometric sensor is described. The channelled spectrum produced by illuminating a sensing interferometer with a broadband source is analysed directly using a CCD array. The system currently provides unambiguous measurement over a range of 1.5 mm with an accuracy of better than 6 µm.

Uncontrolled Keywords: laser diode source, channelled spectrum, linear CCD array, low coherence interferometric sensor, broadband source, 1.5 mm
