Abstract

The design of a reflective fiber-optic displacement sensor for the measurement of the thin film thickness is discussed in this paper. On the basis of traditional reflective fiber-optic displacement sensors, a two-measurement method for measuring the thin film thickness is proposed. Because of the improvement in design, enlargement of the measuring range and enhancement of the initial displacement enable this method to become possible in practical use. This sensor has an outstanding characteristic of being free from the effect of light interference. In performance, it has reached a measuring range of 150 micrometers , nonlinearity of 0.5%, resolution of 0.1 micrometers , stability of drift < 0.5 micrometers /hr, and initial displacement of 3 mm under the condition of no linearity correction.
