Abstract
In practical grazing incidence measurements using a commercial interferometer, repeatability and accuracy suffer from several effects related to part placement. In this paper, the authors analyzed three primary error resources in grazing incidence interferometry: incidence angle error, rotation angle error and included angle. The mathematical foundations of these errors as well as measurement results of several samples are presented showing the effects of each of these errors on. Using the test procedures described in the paper, the errors can be greatly reduced and the repeatability and accuracy increased by 20%.
