FRT CWL FT - Interferometric Film Thickness Sensor

The FRT CWL FT is an interferometric film thickness sensor that was developed for the thickness measurement of products such as foils or films which are transparent for visible light. Measurements can be conducted as single point and profile measurements or film thickness mappings of larger areas. Also, the sensor can be used to characterize multilayer film systems.
