Optic element testing method and apparatus

A system is described for testing aspheric optic elements by the interference of light beam components that are respectively directed to the element to be tested and to a reference element, which facilitates the testing. A reference element is deformable in a controlled manner to more closely match...

Zusammenfassung:A system is described for testing aspheric optic elements by the interference of light beam components that are respectively directed to the element to be tested and to a reference element, which facilitates the testing. A reference element is deformable in a controlled manner to more closely match the element to be tested, to produce straighter and more even fringes.
