摘要
A new scanning microscope scheme which can map both phase and amplitude change of the probe beam is introduced. We will show that the true surface structure can be imaged by using the results of phase measurements while the amplitude image represents the map of the magnitude of the effective local reflection coefficient (ELRC). Relation between the surface structure and the ELRC is discussed. Spatial resolution is 0.67 mu m which is limited by diffraction and the precision for measuring point-to-point variation of the average height of the surface structure is a few nanometers. Potential of this microscopy on surface diagnostics is discussed. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America.
