Optical Pyrometer Pressure Testing Station

Invention Summary: Currently optical/laser profilometers do not have the ability to apply pressure or vacuum to individual devices or wafers. While laser interferometers are used to measure the overall deflection of diaphragms in pressure sensors, they only provide point measurements on the diaphragm and are susceptible to large error. This technology...

Polarization-Modulated Tip Enhanced Optical Microscope

Invention Description: Tip enhanced optical microscopy is a method to improve the spatial resolution of conventional optical microscopy from ~250nm to ~10nm. The method relies on the enhancement of the optical intensity which can occur at the apex of a sharp probe, such as the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) probe, when a laser with appropriate...
