Surface analysis using low-coherence interferometry
Pikálek, Tomáš ; Novák, Jiří (referee) ; Buchta, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with low-coherence interferometry, laser interferometry and its combination intended to be used for contactless surface analysis. It outlines theoretical background of laser interferometry and low-coherence interferometry and describes in detail interference fringe center detection techniques used in low-coherence interferometry and their implementation into MATLAB environment. All these techniques theoretically described were analyzed to evaluate their measurement accuracy, resistance to optical dispersion and computational complexity in order to choose the most appropriate technique to be involved into the experiment. Furthermore, the thesis describes design of an experimental setup for optical surface analysis combining laser interferometry and low-coherence interferometry. There are presented experimental results and its comparison with the reference measurement. Overall measurement uncertainty is calculated and discussed too.

Analysis and verification of air refractive index measurement method for laser interferometry
Pikálek, Tomáš ; Novák,, Jiří (referee) ; Buchta, Zdeněk (advisor)
This thesis deals with a theoretical analysis and experimental verification of a new method for the refractive index of air measurement. This method uses a combination of laser and low-coherence interferometry. The experimental setup is based on the Michelson interferometer equipped with a double-spaced glass cell. The optical path difference between the inner and outer part of the cell that is proportional to air refractivity is estimated using two low-coherence interference signals. These signals are analysed in the frequency domain which results in the dependence of the phase change caused the by air on vacuum wavelength. This dependency is fitted by a theoretical function based on Edlén's equations in order to calculate the phase difference for laser wavelength. This value is then made more accurate utilising two laser interference signals and used for the air refractive index calculation. The new method was experimentally verified and compared to two different techniques. Moreover, the measurement uncertainty was evaluated.

Signal processing in low-coherence interferometry
Novotný, Peter ; Ševčík,, Robert (referee) ; Havlíková, Marie (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the algorithms for signal processing in a field of a low-coherence interferometry. The introductory part is devoted to the basic principle of the low-coherence interferometry and to presenting its field of applications. The second part contains a list of selected algorithms supplemented by a description of their functionality. The procedure of experimental measurement of known surface with Michelson interferometer is described in the third part and the results obtained for particular algorithms are presented. Finally, algorithms are compared on the basis of measurement results.

Automatic system for gauge blocks calibration optimized for legal length metrology
Buchta, Zdeněk ; Šarbort, Martin ; Čížek, Martin ; Hucl, Václav ; Řeřucha, Šimon ; Pikálek, Tomáš ; Dvořáčková, Š. ; Dvořáček, F. ; Kůr, J. ; Konečný, P. ; Lazar, Josef ; Číp, Ondřej
This paper presents a contactless system for automatic and contactless gauge blocks calibration based on combination of laser interferometry and low-coherence interferometry. In the presented system, the contactless measurement of the absolute gauge block length is done as a single-step operation without any change in optical setup during the measurement. The optical setup is combined with compact gauge block changer with capacity 126 gauge blocks, which makes the resulting system fully automatic. \nThe paper also presents in detail a set of optimization steps which have been done in order to transform the original experimental setup into the automatic system which meets legal length metrology requirements. To prove the measurement traceability, we conducted a set of gauge block length measurement comparing data from the optimized system and the established reference system and TESA–UPC operated in Czech Metrology Institute laboratory.
