The Impact

Lateral scanning white light interferometry (LSWLI) is a promising technique for high-resolution topography measurements on moving surfaces. To achieve resolutions typically associated with white light interferometry, accurate information on the lateral displacement of the measured surface is essential. Since the uncertainty requirement for a respective displacement measurement is currently not known, Monte Carlo simulations of LSWLI measurements are carried out at first to assess the impact of the displacement uncertainty on the topography measurement. The simulation shows that the uncertainty of the displacement measurement has a larger influence on the total height uncertainty than the uncertainty of the displacing motion itself. Secondly, a sufficiently precise displacement measurement by means of digital speckle correlation (DSC) is proposed that is fully integrated into the field of view of the interferometer. In contrast to externally applied displacement measurement systems, the integrated combination of DSC with LSWLI needs no synchronization and calibration, and it is applicable for translatory as well as rotatory scans. To demonstrate the findings, an LSWLI setup with integrated DSC measurements is realized and tested on a rotating cylindrical object with a surface made of a linear encoder strip.

Uniform Diameter

We report on a novel biocompatible hierarchical TiO2 porous coating on the surface of Ti, processed via anodic oxidation. The coating consists of large (∼1–20 μm) pores on the microscale and nanotubes (∼50 nm diameter) on the nanoscale. This structure is exciting because of its potential application as a bioactive coating for Ti bone implants. Surface characterization of the coating showed nanotubes of relatively uniform diameter. The interface between TiO2 nanotubes and Ti, studied by transmission electron microscopy, was incoherent. The tubes were also somewhat interconnected.
