Beschreibung

Approaching the topic of digital holography from the practical perspective of industrial inspection, Digital Holography for MEMS and Microsystem Metrology describes the process of digital holography and its growing applications for MEMS characterization, residual stress measurement, design and evaluation, and device testing and inspection. Asundi also provides a thorough theoretical grounding that enables the reader to understand basic concepts and thus identify areas where this technique can be adopted. This combination of both practical and theoretical approach will ensure the book's relevance and appeal to both researchers and engineers keen to evaluate the potential of digital holography for integration into their existing machines and processes.

• Addresses particle characterization where digital holography has proven capability for dynamic measurement of particles in 3D for sizing and shape characterization, with applications in microfluidics as well as crystallization and aerosol detection studies.
• Discusses digital reflection holography, digital transmission holography, digital in-line holography, and digital holographic tomography and applications.
• Covers other applications including micro-optical and diffractive optical systems and the testing of these components, and bio-imaging.

Series Preface

The original concept and theory of electron holography was developed in 1947 by Dennis Gabor as a way to improve the resolution of electron microscopy, but its practical realisation in the optical form we know today had to await the development of coherent light sources (lasers) in the 1960's. Countless numbers of laboratories and photographic studios now use standardised equipment, typically consisting of a continuous wave laser, lenses and beam splitters to construct holographic images. The ability to record the three-dimensional details of an object in a single hologram often makes this the technique of choice for imaging and measurement.

Although the technology might appear to be mature, with only minor improvements achievable, major issues requiring attention do exist. For example, the photographic plates must be isolated from mechanical vibrations during their exposure. Such mechanical stability is absolutely essential because movement as small as a quarter wave-length of light during exposures can completely ruin a hologram. In some industrial environments this problem can be overcome using pulsed lasers rather than continuous wave lasers, but this adds another layer of complexity onto what is already a complicated process. Also, the wet-chemistry required to process the photographic plates can be expensive and time-consuming. The continuing trend towards miniaturization down to the micro- and nano-scales increases the challenges facing the use of holography in imaging and metrology.

In this book Professor Anand Asundi has assembled excellent contributions from experts at the forefront of developing exciting and important applications of digital holography for micro-measurements on micro-devices and MEMS structures. We learn that the recent development of digital computers and charged coupled devices provide the means to record holograms directly in digital form at video rates. Reconstruction of the images can then be performed numerically through quantitative analyses of the amplitudes and phases of the stored interference patterns. Digital technology has thus made it possible to both record and very flexibly reconstruct holograms using computers. The potential of this is very exciting!

The style of writing is pedagogical, making this book suitable for experts in the field as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students attending courses in electronic engineering, materials science, MEMS, applied physics or computing.

Introduction

School of Mechanical and Aerospace EngineeringNanyang Technological UniversitySingapore

An optical wave is characterized by its amplitude, frequency, phase, polarization, and direction of propagation. When a coherent optical wave is incident on any object, the reflected and/or the transmitted waves contain information about the optical and physical properties of that object. The amplitude contains information about reflectance or attenuation of the object, while the phase gives topography or thickness characteristics. Thus, both these parameters are important for the complete three-dimensional (3D) study of objects. Optical measurement techniques offer significant advantages over their counterparts for imaging and measurement applications. Remote analysis, non-contact measurement, whole field visualization, and no need for special sample preparation are the major advantages. The increasing possibilities of computer-aided data processing have led to a new revival in optical metrology. Recent technological developments and miniaturization of the test objects are creating new challenges for optical metrology, for example, to provide a convenient tool for whole field imaging and micro-systems characterization, and to provide experimental data for computer-aided engineering for fast and accurate measurements, and so on. Different optical methods are used for these measurements depending on the requirements. These methods can be divided into two broad categories, called imaging and interferometric methods, summarized in .
