Abstract

A metrology system and method uses pulsed light to allow continuous movement of a target relative to the sensor. A metrology system and method uses dynamic adjustment of tilt in a system. A metrology system and method calibrates the system to remove inherent optical aberrations in the system. Filtering may also be used in the system to increase accuracy.
