Proc: Comparison of optical and non-optical methods for measuring surface roughness

Proceedings of 11th Slovak-Czech-Polish Optical Conference on Wave and Quantum Aspects of Contemporary Optics, SPIE, 11th Slovak-Czech-Polish Optical Conference on Wave and Quantum Aspects of Contemporary Optics, SPIE (1999) pp.456–467

Published by SPIE – The International Society for Optical Engineering, Bellingham, Washington, USA

The values of the basic characteristics of surface roughness measured by means of optical and non-optical methods often differ mutually. So far a systematic comparison of the results obtained by those methods has not been done. The results we have achieved comparing optical and non-optical methods of the surface roughness measurement for selected samples of rough surfaces and for selected methods are presented.
