Abstract
A novel broadband transmission method to determine polymer film thickness during
manufacturing is proposed, and a measurement system is developed based on this method. The
relationship between broadband optical power and film thickness is deduced according to the
Lambert-Beer law. The system is composed of a halogen light and an optical power meter. Results show
that the measurement error of this method is approximately 1 \mm m, and the resolution of the system
is below 0.4 <i>μ</i>m for polymer films with less than 100-<i>μ</i>m thickness.
