Abstract: The task of anti-aliasing in absolute profile measurement by multi-sensor scanning techniques is considered. Simulation results are presented which demonstrate that aliasing can be highly reduced by a suitable choice of the scanning steps. The simulation results were confirmed by results obtained for interferometric measurements (Nyquist frequency 1/646 μm-1) on a specifically designed chirp specimen with sinusoidal waves of amplitude 100 nm and wavelengths from 2.5 mm down to 19 μm.
