Research abstract

Physical Optics Corporation proposes to develop a novel nonscanning confocal camera (NSCC) for high-speed precise 3-D surface profiling. The proposed NSCC projects 4 x 104 confocal beam probes onto the surface under test and simultaneously performs depth measurements for all points by axial scanning only and preserves the high depth resolution of conventional single beam probe systems. With sophisticated system design and data processing, the developed NSCC will be high-speed, highly accurate, very compact and rugged. The NSCC can be integrated into a small robot for nondestructive testing.
