Abstract: Optical flatness metrology has improved significantly in the last decades due to novel measurement tools and new math-based methods. An overview is given summarizing the most important optical techniques for flatness metrology at the nanometer level. The capabilities of modern methods such as the interferometric three-flat test accompanied by a computer-aided evaluation, the Traceable Multi Sensor method as an improved stitching method, and difference deflectometry represented by the Extended Shear Angle Difference method are reviewed.
