Abstract: Among the instrumental techniques for surface profiling of mechanical samples the optical approach is outstanding as it is non-contacting, versatile and fast. Optical profilometers usually focus the light at the surface of the sample under test and collect part of the back-diffused light. In this work wavelength encoding is described along with spectrographic detection, allowing for surface localization in depth without parts in oscillation.
