Abstract
It is proposed and numerically verified that the one-dimensional edge roughness of test sample can be characterized by far-field irradiance measurement at subwavelength-scale precision with a constructed aperture playing as an optical ruler. The precision of the proposed scheme of measurement could be better than 3%, even when the edge roughness is in subwavelength-scale. The influence of sample thickness on the proposed measurement scheme is also investigated and considered.
