This invention discloses a
plastic film thickness measurement
system and method based on
transmission spectroscopy, belonging to the field of
thin film optics and optical measurement. The thickness measurement
system includes a
light source, an incident converging lens, a film sample, a receiving converging lens, a miniature
spectrometer, and a
data processing unit. The
light source and the incident converging lens are connected via
optical fiber. The principal optical axes of the incident and receiving converging lenses are aligned. The focal points of the incident and receiving converging lenses are adjusted to infinity. The film sample is placed between the incident and receiving converging lenses. The angle between the normal of the film sample and the principal optical axes of the incident and receiving lenses is the
angle of incidence. The receiving converging lens is connected to the miniature
spectrometer via
optical fiber, and the miniature
spectrometer is connected to the
data processing unit via a
USB data cable. This invention, based on the existing full-spectrum fitting method, combines the measurement of the
refractive index of the film using the
transmittance envelope, realizing the thickness measurement of films with unknown refractive indices.
