Abstract
An optical pen for an optical measurement system includes a probe body arranged to be adjustably mounted in a measuring machine for optically measuring a test object. A single mode fiber optically coupled within the pen body transmits a source beam having an instantaneous or sequentially established bandwidth spanning a range of wavelengths to the pen body and also transmits a measurement beam from the pen body toward a detector. A combination and configuration of optics within the pen body provides a more compact and efficient optical pen.
