We developed a system which can calibrate the vertical magnification of surface roughness testers in the range of Itc, 0.1 ti 10 µm with high accuracy. The system consists of an electromechanical transducer(EMT) and a heterodyne laser interferometer. With voltage applied, EMT simulates a sinusoidal surface and heterodyne laser interferometer is used to measure the amplitude of the simulated surface. By calculating the theoretical roughness value for this surface, and dividing it by the measured roughness value, we can obtain the calibiation constant. With this calibration system, the relative uncertainty of calibration is 2%.
