Abstract

See full text

A device and method for measuring a surface of an object, including at least one light source, at least one optical sensor, and an interferometry device having a measurement arm and a reference arm, the former directing light from each light source towards the surface of the object and directing light from the surface towards each optical sensor; the measurement device, in an interferometry configuration, illuminating the reference arm and the measurement arm with each light source and directing the light from the measurement arm and the reference arm towards each optical sensor to form an interference signal; the measurement device, in an imaging configuration illuminating at least the measurement arm and directing the light from the measurement arm towards the optical sensor to form an image of the surface; the measurement device including a digital processor producing, from the interference signal and the image, information on the surface.
