Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a calculation hologram used for measuring the surface shape of an optical element by laser interferometry, belonging to the field of photoelectric detection. Background technique [0002] Compared with spherical surfaces, aspheric surfaces can greatly reduce the size and quality of the optical system, improve the imaging quality of the system, and even reach the diffraction limit because they have more degrees of freedom in surface shape. They are more and more used in modern optical systems. more extensive. However, because of its high-degree-of-freedom surface shape, high-precision aspheric surface shape detection has always been a major problem in the field of optical detection. [0003] At present, the commonly used aspheric surface shape detection methods are mainly divided into two types: contact and non-contact measurement methods. The contact method uses a special probe to perform contact point-to-point measurement on...
