Research Abstract |
A novel method to measure three-dimensional attitude of a micro-object having an optical reflective surface has been established, in which the phase difference between two fringe patterns formed over a running surface and the micro-object's surface by Michelson interferometry was utilized. This method was successfully applied to measuring head-to-disk spacing while a head flying over a glass disk separated each other by nanometers. An interference optical system having high magnification and an image capture system having high resolution were developed. Then, a correction procedure to eliminate the phase shift caused by the multiple beam interference on the stratified slider surface was established. Finally, experimental results indicated that the present method was applicable to practical usage. The results of the present work can be summarized as follows. 1) A microscope-type Michelson interferometer with a high magnification power and an image capture system using a high-vision CCD camera achieved a high spatial resolution of 0.192 m×O.383 m, and external identification of the fringe interval by driving the reference mirror for half a wavelength allowed a high spacing resolution of 0.83 nm. 2) By applying multiple beam interference to the stratified surface model of the disk-slider interface, the phase shift caused by the reflection on the slider surface was calculated. Using the calculated phase delay, a correction procedure to obtain the mechanical spacing from the observed spacing was established. 3) Experimental measurements were performed using the nano-sized slider in practical use, and the measurement results were compared with the calculated results. Both results were found to be in good agreement with each other, which indicates that the present method is applicable as a new alternative method for flying height measurement.
