The chromatic confocal method for displacement measurement is described in the paper. Some factors that affect
measuring precision and measuring range are discussed, which include diameter of detector pinhole, spectrum width of
light source, the chromatic dispersion of lens, the resolution of spectrum analyzer, data processing method, etc. The
objective lenses with different chromatic dispersion using in the experiment system are designed and manufactured.
The method processing spectrum line received from spectrometer is studied and corresponding program is compiled. The
experiment system is composed of a light resource with continuum spectrum, an object lens (a multi-lens optical system),
two pinholes, a beam splitter and a spectrum analyzer. The experimental systems with different lenses (different
chromatic aberration) are calibrated separately to determine the relationship between the received wavelength and
corresponding distance to target surface.
