Choose Morning or Afternoon Session

9.30 - 2.00 Morning
 
09.30 Registration
 
10.00–10.30 An introduction to interferometric surface metrology – Dr Carol David Daniel, Lambda Photometrics Ltd
 
10.30–11.00 Characterising MEMS: A comparison of the techniques available Characterisation is an important process in the development of any MEMS sensor. Newcastle University, utilise the optical techniques of vibrometry, interferometry and Raman spectroscopy. Case studies will be discussed which highlights the advantages of each of these techniques – Dr John Hedley, University of Newcastle
 
11.00–11.30 Fundamental limitations when using vertical scanning white light interferometers. Vertical scanning white light interferometers are very versatile instruments for measuring the topography of a vast range of surfaces. However, when using such instruments one has to be aware that they have some fundamental limitations that are due to their operating principles and the way in which they are used. The talk will discuss these limitations and present some examples of comparisons that highlight the limitations – Dr Richard Leach, NPL
 
11.30–1.00 Tea & coffee break, demonstrations, Q & A session
 
1.00–2.00 Lunch – networking with morning and afternoon session’s delegates
 
12.45 - 5.00 Afternoon
 
12.45 Registration
 
1.00–2.00 Lunch – networking with morning and afternoon session’s delegates
 
2.00–2.30 An introduction to interferometric surface metrology – Dr Carol David Daniel, Lambda Photometrics Ltd
 
2.30–3.00 Application of interferometric metrology to corrective polishing of precision surfaces: Interferometry plays a key role in the process loop when polishing precision optics and other surfaces. The methodology used will be explored highlighting how to exploit its strengths together with how to use complementary metrology to mitigate some of its limitations – Roger Morton, Operations Director, Zeeko Ltd
