Lateral resolution and instrument transfer function as criteria for selecting surface metrology instruments

Xavier Colonna De Lega, Peter de Groot

We review definitions of optical resolution and how they relate to the Instrument Transfer Function of surface profiling interferometers. The corresponding optical cutoff provides a selection criterion for a given metrology application (PSD, waviness).
