PTB AND INRIM HIGH FORCE INTERCOMPARISON UP TO 9 MN

The present paper describes the long term stability of the main metrological characteristics of the two reference transducers of 3 MN and 9 MN together with the relevant uncertainties evaluated from the measurements carried out by INRIM and PTB by bilateral comparisons. In June 2004, the new INRIM – 3 MN build-up system (BU), the 9 MN and 5 MN transducers were also intercompared, by using the PTB 2 MN DWM and the 16.5 MN Hydraulic Multiplication Machines (HMM). The main results are reported. Furthermore long term investigations carried out over 20 years and the work obtained within a EUROMET project are described.

COMPARISON OF FORCE STANDARDS BETWEEN NIS (EGYPT) AND NPL (UNITED KINGDOM)

This paper details the results of a bilateral comparison carried out between the national force standard machines of Egypt and the United Kingdom. The results indicate that the uncertainty claims of the two laboratories can, in general, be supported. Recommendations on revised protocols to be used for future comparisons are given.

DIODE LASER FREQUENCY STANDARD FOR LASER INTERFEROMETRY

Diode lasers are becoming increasingly important in length metrology. We demonstrate construction of a simple single-frequency diode laser 632,8 nm, used as a frequency standard in the laser interferometers. We present two different systems applied for frequency stabilization of diode laser . For diode laser used as the secondary standard, the system stabilizes diode temperature, the frequency stability of the laser reaches value 1 part in 106. For diode laser used as the primary standard is developed stabilization system using narrow absorption in iodine , the frequency stability of constructed diode laser reaches value 1 part in 1010.

TRANSLATIONAL VELOCITY MEASUREMENT FOR TRACKING OF SINGLE FLOATING CELLS

We propose the optical spatial filtering method, as translational velocity measurement to observe morphological changes of single floating cells in long stretches. This measurement derives the arbitrary component of the spatial frequency from the random refracted index distribution as the periodic light intensity distribution.

OPTICAL DIFFERENTIATION PHASE MEASUREMENT USING A MODIFIED MULTI-STEP BIAS-SHIFTING METHOD

An optical differentiation phase measurement system using a modified multi-step bias-shifting method is proposed. The signal obtained by multi-step bias shifting is divided into two groups in this new method. The effectiveness of the new method was demonstrated using a computer simulation.

ILLUMINANCE MEASUREMENTS OF ROADWAYS

The aim of this paper is to present the first initiatives of the photometric group at Inmetro to analyze and test measurement procedures of lighting performance of roadways. At present, the evaluation for the average illuminance follows the brazilian standard ABNT-NBR-5101. The illuminance values measured in the field test are compared with calculated values, using the intensity distribution of the luminaires, which have been measured with a goniophotometer. Close agreement is found.

FAST INTEGRAL OPTICAL ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENT OF SPECULAR REFLECTING SURFACES IN THE NANOMETER RANGE

A fast optical roughness measuring device with a compact design is presented. The measuring principle is based on double scattering of coherent light. The measurement results in an integral statistical roughness value like Ra or Rq according to ISO 4287. It is valid for the illuminated surface area with diameters between 0.5 mm and 10 mm at a resolution of about 1 nm (Ra-value). A simulation model of the optical roughness measuring process based on the Huygens-Fresnel approximation was implemented. The simulation tool enables to investigate potential improvements of the measuring method without expensive and time consuming experiments.

DEVELOPMENTS OF MEASUREMENT DUE TO TENDENCIES OF MICROELECTRONICS AND A NEW OPTIMIZATION CRITERION

The paper deals with problems of dynamic behaviour and shows especially how the development of microelectronics influences this field and how to teach this trends applying also heuristic methods and approximations. Using the results of information theory a new optimization criterion is introduced.

SOME ASPECTS OF CHROMATIC CONFOCAL SPECTRAL INTERFEROMETRY

In this paper, we report on the recent development of a novel low coherence interferometry technique for the purpose of 3D-topography measurements. It combines the well established techniques of spectral-interferometry (SI) and chromatic-confocal microscopy (CCM). It allows for the detection of an object’s depth position, without the necessity of a mechanical axial-scan, and the measurement is performed in a so-called “single-shot” manner. Focusing the white-light with a microscope objective combined with a diffractive optical element leads to an expansion of the axial-range of the sensor beyond the depth-of-focus, limited by the numerical aperture (NA) of the used objective. Confocally filtering the object’s light causes the reduction of the lateral dimension of the area sampled upon the object. Due to the high NA, a high light collection-efficiency is achieved as well. The attained interferometric signals consist of high-contrast wavelets in the optical-frequency domain. The depth position of an investigated point of the object is given by the modulation-period of the wavelets. Therefore, unlike in CCM, position-wavelength referencing is not necessary.

FEASIBLE PRODUCTION OF FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITES THROUGH INLINE INSPECTION WITH MACHINE VISION

The application of Fibre-Reinforced Plastics is important in many engineering areas, but vital for the aerospace industry. This work shows how inline metrology can contribute to a feasible production of composite parts. An inspection system based on a Machine Vision System will be presented as a key-component for the automatic construction of complex Preform structures.
