 resolution images of  surfaces.  Several technics have been  used to measure the

+In order to develop simple,  cost effective and user-friendly cantilever arrays,
+authors   of    ~\cite{AFMCSEM11}   have   developped   a    system   based   of
+interferometry. In opposition to other optical based systems, using a laser beam
+deflection scheme and  sentitive to the angular displacement  of the cantilever,
+interferometry  is sensitive  to  the  optical path  difference  induced by  the
+vertical displacement of the cantilever.
+
+The system build  by authors of~\cite{AFMCSEM11} has been  developped based on a
+Linnick     interferomter~\cite{Sinclair:05}.    It     is     illustrated    in
+Figure~\ref{fig:AFM}.  A  laser diode  is first split  (by the splitter)  into a
+reference beam and a sample beam  that reachs the cantilever array.  In order to
+be  able to  move  the cantilever  array, it  is  mounted on  a translation  and
+rotational hexapod  stage with  five degrees of  freedom. The optical  system is
+also fixed to the stage.  Thus,  the cantilever array is centered in the optical
+system which  can be adjusted accurately.   The beam illuminates the  array by a
+microscope objective  and the  light reflects on  the cantilevers.  Likewise the
+reference beam  reflects on a  movable mirror.  A  CMOS camera chip  records the
+reference and  sample beams which  are recombined in  the beam splitter  and the
+interferogram.   At the  beginning of  each  experiment, the  movable mirror  is
+fitted  manually in  order to  align the  interferometric  fringes approximately
+parallel  to the cantilevers.   When cantilevers  move due  to the  surface, the
+bending of  cantilevers produce  movements in the  fringes that can  be detected
+with    the    CMOS    camera.     Finally    the    fringes    need    to    be
+analyzed. In~\cite{AFMCSEM11}, the authors used a LabView program to compute the
+cantilevers' movements from the fringes.

 \subsection{FPGA constraints}
 
+A field-programmable gate  array (FPGA) is an integrated  circuit designed to be
+configured by  the customer.  A hardware  description language (HDL)  is used to
+configure a  FPGA. FGPAs are  composed of programmable logic  components, called
+logic blocks.  These blocks can be  configured to perform simple (AND, XOR, ...)
+or  complex  combinational  functions.    Logic  blocks  are  interconnected  by
+reconfigurable  links. Modern  FPGAs  contains memory  elements and  multipliers
+which enables to simplify the design and increase the speed. As the most complex
+operation operation on FGPAs is the  multiplier, design of FGPAs should not used
+complex operations. For example, a divider  is not an available operation and it
+should be programmed using simple components.
+
+FGPAs programming  is very different  from classic processors  programming. When
+logic block are programmed and linked  to performed an operation, they cannot be
+reused anymore.  FPGA  are cadenced slowly than classic  processors but they can
+performed pipelined as  well as pipelined operations. A  pipeline provides a way
+manipulate data quickly  since at each clock top to handle  a new data. However,
+using  a  pipeline  consomes more  logics  and  components  since they  are  not
+reusable,  nevertheless it  is probably  the most  efficient technique  on FPGA.
+Parallel  operations   can  be  used   in  order  to  manipulate   several  data
+simultaneously. When  it is  possible, using  a pipeline is  a good  solution to
+manipulate  new  data  at  each  clock  top  and  using  parallelism  to  handle
+simultaneously several data streams.
