(1) ‘There's demanding needs for optical metrology of nanoscale materials beyond electronics too,’ adds Parr.(2) Whilst rarely thought of as technology in itself, metrology will continue to be a developing and defining feature of the next ten years: defining and setting common standards of measurement.(3) The EEI will allow program participants to determine the best approach to EUV wavefront metrology for tool manufacturing.(4) As a result of the extremely small line width of less than 5 MHz, possible applications are also in spectroscopy, metrology , sensor technology, and atomic physics.(5) Standardisation, quality assurance, metrology and testing of products are key to poverty reduction says the Zambia Bureau of Standards.(6) We also divert a low-power sample of the radiation to obtain in-situ metrology .(7) The Swedish physicist prized Michelson's use of his interferometer in metrology and, in particular, for determining experimentally the length of the international metre.(8) He soon rose to be superintendent of the division at the NPL that covered metrology in general.(9) The pressure for standardization also affected metrology .(10) Environmental effects can be an issue in more conventional metrology applications as well, notes Robert Stoner, vice president of metrology and optical systems at Zygo Corp.(11) If PCFs fulfill their potential, they could have important applications in spectroscopy, metrology , biomedicine, imaging, and telecommunications.(12) New instantaneous PMI techniques can operate in these production environments with success, but care must be taken regarding systematic errors to assure good metrology .(13) A special symposium on photonics time and frequency metrology focused on the control and use of mode-locked lasers in producing frequency combs.(14) According to Lee, the AFM is just like those used for metrology except that it actually comes in physical contact with the photomask.(15) One example where improved metrology would be highly beneficial is in the commercial production of high-accuracy pressure-measuring instruments.(16) As LEDs and LED arrays become more prevalent in illumination and communications, precise metrology of these devices will become increasingly important.
