Method of and photometric arrangement for measuring and controlling the thickness of optically effective coatings

摘要

An arrangement for measuring and controlling the thickness of optically transparent coatings during their build-up on substrates in vacuum coating installations. The measurement is carried out by determining at least one reference value and at least one measured value for the transmission or reflection value of the coated object by using a measuring light beam, a monochromator, a photo-receiver, an amplifier and an analyzing circuit.
