摘　　要：为了解决传统四波横向剪切干涉测量系统中特定分光器件存在的加工难度高、光谱适用范围受限等问题,利用空间光调制器替代分光光栅将入射光分为4束横向剪切相干子波,通过灵活调整光栅的折射率来调制子波衍射效率以适应照明光源,再根据子波两两干涉效应重建出反映样品折射率和高度信息的光程差分布,即可实现宽光谱大尺寸范围内的表面形貌精确测量;结合傅里叶变换法研究了入射光不同波长对光程差重建精度的影响规律,并利用空间光调制器搭建了1套适用于可见光至近红外的宽光谱四波横向剪切干涉测量系统。结果表明,该系统对石英标准样件刻蚀深度的测量结果为209.39 nm±1.72 nm,与其标称值210.83 nm±2.39 nm和白光干涉仪测量值212.92 nm±1.35 nm基本保持一致,验证了所提表面形貌测量方法的有效性。该研究可为四波横向剪切干涉技术在表面形貌测量领域的扩展应用提供理论参考。In order to solve the problems of high processing difficulty and limited spectral application range of specific spectra device in traditional quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry system,dividing incident light beam into four beams of lateral shearing coherent wavelets was proposed by using a spatial light modulator instead of a spectro grating.The diffraction efficiency of wavelets was adjusted flexibly by adjusting the refractive index of grating to adapt to the illumination light source,and the optical path difference distribution reflecting the height information and refractive index of the sample was reconstructed according to the interference effect between two wavelets,so as to realize accurate measurement of surface topography in a wide spectral and large dimensions range.In this study,the effect of incident light wavelength on the reconstruction accuracy of optical path difference was investigated by combining the Fourier transform method,and a wide spectrum quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry system from the visible to near infrared was built using a spatial light modulator.The results show that the system measured the etching depth of a standard quartz sample at 209.39 nm±1.72 nm,which is basically consistent with its nominal value of 210.83 nm±2.39 nm and the measurement value of 212.92 nm±1.35 nm by white light interferometer,which verifies the effectiveness of the surface topography measurement method proposed.This study can provide a theoretical reference for the extended application of quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry in the field of surface topography measurement.
