Conoscopic Sensor CSL - Non-contact measurement over wide working ranges and steep edges
The measurement is based on conoscopic holography.
A laser beam is focused on the specimen. The light that is scattered in the measuring spot is captured by the sensor.

A configuration of two polarizers and one uni-axial crystal splits the captured light into two light beams that pass the crystal at different speeds.

This leads to a superposition on the detector. The distance between lens and specimen is evaluated from the resulting double slit interference pattern.
