Optical metrology refers to the science and technology of measuring physical quantities and properties of optical techniques. It involves the use of light, lasers, and related optical components to make precise measurements of various parameters such as length, displacement, shape, surface roughness, thickness, refractive index, and more. Optical metrology is used to understand the behavior of light, including its reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, absorption, and scattering. It also helps to obtain quantitative data about the physical properties of objects or materials under investigation. As compared to traditional measurement techniques, optical metrology offers high precision, non-contact measurement, and fast data acquisition. As a result, it is widely used across manufacturing, engineering, material science, semiconductors, biotechnology, and research applications.
