Embodiment 4

[0069] Such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment 1 Figure 7 The polarization modulation system in is replaced by Figure 5 The polarization state modulation system in can constitute embodiment 4. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that after the light enters the polarization state modulation system 3, the incident laser beam is modulated into linearly polarized light by the polarization modulator 29, and then incident on the block λ / 2 wave plate spatially varying retarder 30 and modulated into a linearly polarized light beam. The polarized light is focused by the focusing lens 31 to the non-confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer 32 for mode selection and obtains radially polarized light with higher purity, which is collimated by the collimator lens 33 and then exits; block λ / 2 wave plate The spatially variable retarder 30 is spliced ​​and combined by 4 or 8 λ / 2 wave plates with identical optical properties, and the included angles between its fast axis (or slo...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of optical precision measurement, relating to super-resolution laser polarization differential confocal imaging method and device. The method improves the transverse resolution power by combining a radial polarized light and a pupil filtering technology, improves the axial resolution power by using a differential subtraction detection technology of an axial-offset dual-detector system and remarkably improves the spatial resolution power and tomography ability of the system. The device comprises a laser source as well as a beam expander, a polarization state modulation system, a pupil filter and a spectroscope which are sequentially arranged at a transmitting end of the laser source, an objective and a sample which are arranged in the transmitted light direction of the spectroscope in turn, and a differential confocal system in the opposite direction of the reflected light direction of the spectroscope. The invention combines the radial polarized light resolution technology with the pupil filtering technology and improves the transverse resolution power of the system; moreover, the differential work mode of the invention can remarkably improve the axial imaging ability of the system and is applicable to the high-precision detection and metering of nanometer-level geometrical parameters in the nanometer manufacturing field.
