Analog circuits processing PSD currents and calculating position value introduce errors of significant magnitude and demand separate circuits for amplitude and phase detection methods, thus prohibiting full use of the PSD’s potential. In order to demonstrate PSD capabilities, a high performance electronics circuit has been constructed that digitizes PSD photocurrents and calculates position value using DFT from both amplitude and phase methods. Verification of the total system error has been independently carried out using Michelson interferometer. Comparison of both detection methods offers better insight into their potential use. Experimental results qualify PSD as detector capable of 100 nm displacement resolution in direct illumination setup..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
