Abstract
An apparatus for measuring a thickness of a coating formed on a surface of a component member includes a white light source for emitting a light beam to be reflected by the surface of the member, one or more filters, each of the filters capable of filtering the reflected light beam in a selected wavelength range, an identical number of photo-detection sections as filters, each of the photo-detection sections being used for converting the intensity of the filtered light beam into a counting reference signal having a logic high and low states, a counter for counting the logic high states to generate a count number and a signal processor for computing the coating thickness based on the count number. Each of the photo-detection sections has a photo-detector, an ampere-to-voltage convertor, a peak voltage value detector and a comparator.
