Conceptual design of a phase shifting telescope-interferometer
This paper deals with the theoretical principle and optical design of a phase-shifting telescopeinterferometer. What is called a “Telescope-Interferometer” (T-I) is indeed a novel, recently proposed Wavefront Error (WFE) sensing technique, whose basic idea consists in combining the main pupil of a telescope with a second, off-axis reference arm. Then a weak modulation of the Point Spread Functi...
متن کاملPhase-Shifting Scatterplate Interferometer
The advantages of common path interferometers for reducing effects of vibrations are well known. A scatterplate interferometer is one common-path interferometer that is well suited for the testing of large concave mirrors, however due to the common path characteristics it is difficult to perform phase-shifting. This paper describes a phase-shifting scatterplate interferometer where the phase-sh...
متن کاملPhase-shifting point diffraction interferometer.
We describe a novel interferometer design suitable for highly accurate measurement of wave-front aberrations over a wide range of wavelengths, from visible to x ray. The new design, based on the point diffraction interferometer, preserves the advantages of the conventional point diffraction interferometer but offers higher efficiency and improved accuracy through phase shifting. These qualities...
متن کاملPhase-shifting birefringent scatterplate interferometer.
We realized what we believe is a new phase-shifting scatterplate interferometer by exploiting the polarization characteristics of a birefringent scatterplate. The common-path design of the interferometer reduces its sensitivity to environmental effects, and phase shifting allows quick and accurate quantitative measurements of the test surface. A major feature of the birefringent scatterplate ap...
متن کاملA Simple Phase-Shifting Lateral Shearing Interferometer
A phase-shifting electronic speckle pattern shearing interferometer with a very simple shearing device is proposed. Two partially reflective glass plates are used to introduce the shear in this new interferometer. The reflection coefficients of the coatings were 0.3 and 0.7 respectively. The distance between the two glass plates controls the size of the shear. The proposed new interferometric s...
