An automatic shearing interference system has been set up incorporating an ITV and a micro-computer in order to reduce measurement errors and shorten job time. The measuring principle and data collection process for the automatic measuring system are described here. The wave aberration of a planar microlens (0.91 mmφ, f=2.06 mm) was measured, and the accuracy of the present system was found to be 8.8% of λ, with the possibility of improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
