The invention discloses a method for detecting the
amplification factor of a small-
caliber telescope. The method comprises the following steps: S1, installing a detection device in place according to detection requirements; s2, the detection device is adjusted, so that interference fringes of emergent light of the
telescope reflected by the
plane mirror and interference fringes of reflected light of the
plane mirror are displayed on the surface-shaped interferometer at the same time; s3, adjusting the large-
aperture plane mirror to a small angle, displaying interference fringes of the two areas and angle values represented by the interference fringes on the surface-shaped interferometer, and respectively recording the interference fringes and the angle values as theta T and theta M; s4, reversely adjusting the large-
aperture plane mirror by a small angle, and displaying interference fringes of two areas and angle values represented by the interference fringes on the surface-shaped interferometer, and respectively recording the interference fringes and the angle values as theta T and theta M; s5, calculating the angle
magnification M angle of the
telescope to be measured, and converting the angle
magnification M angle into the
magnification M of the telescope to be measured; and S6, replacing the sub-telescopes, repeating the steps S1 to S5, and obtaining the amplification factors of the four telescopes. The method is mature in technology, easy to implement, high in
measurement precision and convenient to popularize and apply.
