Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for measuring thickness and related properties of transparent objects, such as glass. In one example a measurement system includes a light source that produces a collimated optical beam, a modulator that modulates the collimated optical beam to produce a collimated modulated optical beam, optics configured to direct the collimated modulated optical beam to illuminate the transparent test object, and a detector sub-system that receives an intensity-modulated optical beam output from the test object and measures variations in intensity of the intensity-modulated optical beam corresponding to an intensity modulation of the intensity-modulated optical beam, the intensity-modulated optical beam being derived from interaction of the collimated modulated input optical beam with the transparent test object, the detector sub-system being further configured to produce a representation of the thickness and/or related properties of the test object based on the measured variations in intensity of the intensity-modulated optical beam.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 13  wherein producing the collimated modulated optical beam includes:\n generating a collimated optical beam with a laser; and \n modulating the collimated optical beam with a frequency modulator to produce a collimated frequency-modulated optical beam.
