Non-invasive interferometric detection and measurement of optoelectronic properties employs scanner sweeping inspection and reference zones at specified frequencies

摘要

The probing beam (23) has a scanner (33) sweeping it over the zone of inspection (34) and a reference zone (36). Image acquisition frequency (f) exceeds the cut-off frequency (fc), images being recorded by measuring variations in phase of the light beam (7). The scanner operates in a first spatial direction at frequency fx and in a second spatial direction at frequency fy to form an image of (n x m) pixels. fx = fy/n and fy = fa/m, fx and fy exceed fc. A confocal microscope measures phase variations, being used to form an image of a plane in the zone of investigation (34). The medium can be displaced in three dimensions under the beam. Opto-acoustic deflectors (35) ahead of the microscope perform scanning as described. One deflector following the microscope is controlled for order 0 inclination with respect to the optical axis and to keep order 1 paraxial. A Galilean lens increases the angle alpha between the first order and the optical axis. In addition, ahead of the microscope, incident beam polarization is controlled. An independent claim is also included for the corresponding method.
