Rules for reducing the sensitivity of fringe projection autofocus to air temperature changes

摘要

Fringe projection autofocus systems are provided with variable pitch diffraction gratings or multiple diffraction gratings so that a reference beam and a measurement beam propagate along a common path. Alternatively, an input beam can be directed to a diffraction grating so that the selected diffraction orders propagate along a common path. In some examples, distinct spectral bands are used for reference and measurement beams.
