Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to detect a recess part and a protruding part on a surface to be measured by providing photodetectors on both sides of an incident laser light beam within a vertical plane which is orthogonal to the surface to be measured including the incident laser light beam, and measuring the time difference between the output of one photodetector and the output of the other photodetector. CONSTITUTION:The laser light 1 which is inputted in a surface to be measured 2 is reflected in the direction in conformity with the rule of reflection when there are no irregularities on the surface to be measured 2. The reflected light beams do not reach photodetectors 3a and 3b which are arranged on both sides of the laser light 1. The surface to be measured 2 is scanned by moving laser light 1 on the surface to be measured 2, but the scanning can be performed by moving the surface to be measured 2. When the surface to be measured 2 is moved leftward, the elapses of the photocurrents in the photodetectors 3a and 3b with time indicate the different passage of the surface to be measured 2 with respect to irregularities. When the difference is identified, the recess (protruding) part 3 at the surface to be measured 2 can be judged.

If the surface to be measured 2 has no irregularities, the laser beam 1 incident on the surface to be measured 2 will be reflected in a direction according to the law of reflection, and will not reach the light receivers 3a and 3b placed across the laser beam 1. The laser beam 1 moves and scans the surface to be measured 2, but this may be performed by moving the surface to be measured. Now, instead of scanning the laser beam and light receiving system from left to right, the surface to be measured 2 is moved to the left. If there is a concave or convex portion on the surface 2 to be measured, the reflected laser beam can reach the light receivers 3a and 3b in a direction different from the direction in the case where there are no unevenness. When the surface to be measured 2 is moved to the left in FIG. 1, the light receiver 3a,
The time course of the photocurrent in 3b is as shown in FIG. 2, and shows a different course depending on the unevenness of the surface 2 to be measured. By identifying this difference, a concave portion or a convex portion on the surface 2 to be measured can be determined.

That is, in the case of a convex shape, a photocurrent first flows to a light receiver located in front of the convex portion in the direction of movement, and then a photocurrent flows to a light receiver located behind the convex portion. Further, in the case of a concave shape, a photocurrent flows first to the light receiver on the rear side, and then to the light receiver on the front side. Even if the direction of movement is reversed, if the shape is convex, the photocurrent will first flow to the front receiver, and then to the rear receiver; if the shape is concave, the photocurrent will first flow to the rear receiver, and then Flows to the front receiver.
