Abstract
Description
この出願は、2019年3月29日に出願された「METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING TEAR FILM THICKNESS USING OPTICAL INTERFERENCE」と題する米国仮特許出願第62/826,495号に基づく優先権を主張するものであり、その全体を参照により本明細書に援用する。
油層厚(L)=OpticalInterference#1(図4の処理にて保存されたもの)
水層厚(A)=OpticalInterference#2(図4の処理にて保存されたもの)−OpticalInterference#1(図4の処理にて保存されたもの)
ムチン層厚(M)=OpticalInterference#3(図5の処理にて保存されたもの)−OpticalInterference#2(図4の処理にて保存されたもの)
ν(x、z、t)=ΔΦ(x、z、t)λ0(4πnΔt)−1から導くことができる。そして、深さ分解された瞬間的な変位及び速度を用いて、ひずみ速度や粘度といったサンプルの特性を算出することができる。
