  • 격자 간섭계(grating interferometer)는 방사선 영상분야의 새로운 기술로서, 흡수 영상(absorption imaging)뿐만 아니라 위상차 영상(phase contrast imaging)과 다크필드 영상(dark field imaging)을 제공한다. 격자 간섭계는 크게 탈봇 효과(talbot effect)를 이용하는 탈봇 간섭계와 탈봇-라우 효과(talbot-lau effect)를 이용하는 탈봇-라우 간섭계로 나뉘는데, 일반적인 방사선 영상시스템과 달리 방사선의 간섭을 예측하고 적용하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 부산대학교 중성자 및 방사선 공학 연구실에서 보유하고 있는 엑스선 격자 세트와 중성자 격자 세트를 이용하여 탈봇 간섭 패턴 및 탈봇-라우 간섭 패턴을 제작하였다. 이를 통해 방사선의 파동 거동에 따른 간섭 세기의 변화를 예측하고, 격자 간섭계를 구성하는 각 요소들을 계산했다. 그리고 격자의 종류 및 위상차 물체에 대한 탈봇 간섭 패턴 및 탈봇-라우 간섭 패턴을 예측하였다.

  • X-ray grating interferometry has been an active area of research in recent years. In particular, various studies have been carried out for the practical use of the x-ray grating interferometer in medical and industrial fields. For the commercialization of the system, it needs to be optimized for its application. In this study, we have developed a prototype of the compact high energy x-ray grating interferometer of which the high effective energy and compactness is of our primary feature of design. We have designed the Talbot-Lau x-ray interferometer in a symmetrical geometry with an effective energy of 54.3 keV. The system has a source-to-analyzer grating distance of 788.4 mm, which is compact enough for a commercial product. In a normal operation, it took less than ten seconds to acquire a set of phase stepping images. The acquired images had a maximum visibility of about 15%, which is relatively high compared with the visibilities of the other high-energy grating interferometric systems reported so far.

  • The soft x-ray(10nm-100nm) interferometer is a modified Mach-Zehnder type interferometer and it consists of two beam-splitters and four totally reflecting mirrors. The beam-splitters used here are 50% transmission and 50% reflection grating type. The diffraction patterns of beam splitters(1st B.S.) were investigated with a He-Ne laser. The diffraction patterns produced by the soft x-ray interferometer (2nd B.S.) were also investigated in intensities positions. The diffraction patterns of 20 degree grazing incidence on the beam splitters(1st B.S.) show a circular array of spots. Both the reflected and the transmitted beams show the same patterns but symmetric circles on the screen. The maximum intensity appears roughly when n is in the zeroth and odd orders and the suppressed peak(missing order) appears when n is in even orders. Intensities of 3 center fringes(n = 0, $\pm$1) are stronger than others. These results confirm the reduced grating equation and make agree with the intensity distribution function. It was found that the final patterns produced by the soft x-ray interferometer (2nd B.S.) consisted of fine fringes which were caused by two of three diffraction beams that were arrived at the second beam-splitter.

  • A compact and two-dimensional atomic force microscope (AFM) using an orthogonal sample scanner, a calibrated homodyne laser interferometer and a commercial AFM head was developed for use in the nanometrology field. The x and y position of the sample with respect to the tip are acquired by using the laser interferometer in the open-loop state, when each z data point of the AFM head is taken. The sample scanner which has a motion amplifying mechanism was designed to move a sample up to $100{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ in orthogonal way, which means less crosstalk between axes. Moreover, the rotational errors between axes are measured to ensure the accuracy of the calibrated AFM within the full scanning range. The conventional homodyne laser interferometer was used to measure the x and y displacements of the sample and compensated via an X-ray interferometer to reduce the nonlinearity of the optical interferometer. The repeatability of the calibrated AFM was measured to sub-nm within a few hundred nm scanning range.

  • 현재 정밀한 길이를 측정하기 위해서는 광 간섭계를 이용한 측정기술이 주로 사용되어지고 있다. 이러한 광 간섭계의 발전과 더불어 이보다 더 높은 분해능을 얻기 위해 광파장보다 1000배 정도 짧은 엑스선을 이용한 변위 측정 기술개발이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 엑스선을 이용한 간섭계를 제작하고, 광 간섭계와 결합된 광/엑스선 복합간섭계를 구성하여 광 간섭계가 안고 있는 자체의 비선형성이 제거된 정밀 변위 측정 시스템을 구성하였다. 그 응용으로써, 제작된 광/엑스선 복합간섭계를 이용하여 나노미터 영역에 서 사용하는 transducer의 비선형성을 측정하였다.

  • 교정은 모든 측정분야에서 어렵고 까다로운 주제인데, 특히 정전센서, 레이저간섭계, AFM, STM 등을 포함하는 나노메트롤로지(nanometrology : 나노측정) 분야에서는 그러하다. 나노측정에서는 전체 측정범위가 센서들의 한계분해능 값과 비슷한데, 이러한 측정에서 높은 소급성을 유지하기는 매우 어렵기 때문이다.(중략)
