The white light interferometer uses the white light interference technology as the principle. The light emitted by the light source is collimated by a beam splitter and split into two beams after being expanded and collimated. One beam is reflected by the measured surface, and the other beam is reflected by the reference mirror. Eventually convergence and interference occur, the microscope converts the topographical features of the measured surface into interference fringe signals, and measures the three-dimensional topography of the surface by measuring changes in the interference fringe.
The global White Light Interferometry (WLI) market was valued at US$ 217 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 294 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
