Optical Profiler Characterization of Advanced Materials Using White Light Interferometry
WLI-based characterization techniques are driving innovation in materials research and development.
This webinar provides a comprehensive exploration of white light interferometry (WLI)-based advanced materials characterization, including techniques, practical considerations, and regulatory standards for such concepts as waviness, roughness, and spatial filtering.
Webinar Summary
Explore Fast, Accurate Techniques for Advanced Materials Characterization
Tackling global challenges often requires the development of new, increasingly advanced materials; these support efforts to build a neutral carbon dioxide economy, improve energy efficiency, develop high bandwidth communication, and identify better methods for preventing and fighting pandemics, among others.
Yet new materials development evolves quickly, driven by innovation in the capabilities and capacity of R&D equipment and processes. As a result, dedicated, high-performance characterization tools are increasingly important in a wide range of fields ranging from geology to optoelectronics.
Geared toward materials scientists, bio-mechanical researchers, geology & nuclear waste researchers, materials development researchers & engineers, and waveguide optical developers, this webinar includes:
- A comprehensive explanation of roughness considerations like waviness, roughness and spatial filtering;
- Steps for the ISO-compliant set up and post-processing analyses of mean roughness measurements;
- An exploration of both profile and areal based measurements, with emphasis on their differences; and
- Practical examples from experts in the field.
