Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
As a type of interference microscopy, white light interferometry (WLI) is well-established measuring technique in advanced manufacturing industry and scientific research for contactless inspection of surface topographies in micro- and nanometer range. In this paper, a scan step noise correction based surface recovery algorithm is proposed for WLI precision measurement, which provides an effective solution to the inevitable scan step noise. The carrier is firstly obtained by removing the envelope in the interference signal, then the carrier phase is extracted. Based on the theoretical linearity of the phase distribution, a corrected relationship is designed in terms of scan position and phase distribution. Afterwards, the surface profiles can be precisely recovered according to the regenerated carrier after phase correction simultaneously. Simulations show that the reconstruction error is less than 5 nm when WLI is disturbed by harmonic error and random noise. In order to test the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed, a step height with nominal value 45.5 ± 1.2 nm is used to calibrate the proposed system and the new algorithm, where within 10 rounds of scanning the mean height of 44.99 nm with the repeatability of 1.39% is achieved. In the experiment, a laser marking sample is measured and the 3D shape of the marking area is successfully recovered. The repeat measurements and the comparison with the commercial profiler are also provided, which exhibits good consistence and further proves the potential of the new method in the perspective of industry applications.
