Problems solved by technology

[0007] The disadvantages of this solution are: 1. Due to the use of holographic elements for beam splitting, it is equivalent to dividing the entire frame of the detector into four parts, resulting in a 2-fold reduction in the resolution of the interferogram, and the detection resolution of large-aperture mirrors is too low
2. The four-step phase-shift processing of the interferogram requires strict position correspondence of the spatial sampling points. Since the four interferograms have different patterns, the image registration is difficult and the accuracy is low, and it is easy to cause measurement errors caused by the mismatch of the spatial sampling positions.
[0009] The defect of this scheme is: 1, micro-polarization phase-shifting array structure is complicated, and manufacturing difficulty is big
2. The micro-polarization phase-shifting array needs to be coupled with the strict size and position alignment of the detector pixel, which requires high precision and is difficult to install and adjust
[0011] The disadvantages of this solution are: 1. The size limitation of the microlens array will lead to low spatial resolution of the calculated wavefront topography, resulting in reduced measurement accuracy
2. Microlens arrays on the order of millimeters still have the problem of high processing costs
[0012] More importantly, the above three solutions are difficult to detect aspheric and free-form surface components. At present, there are two main types of aspheric detection. One is to use a specially designed aspheric compensator, and the other is to use computational holography. (CGH)
The above three schemes all need to add a compensator or a CGH dry plate in front of the mirror to be tested as a compensating mirror to detect the aspheric surface. The design of the compensating mirror is very difficult, and the processing, calibration and installation of the detection system are very demanding. High, there are assembly and manufacturing errors that are difficult to remove in the measurement
For aspheric surfaces with different parameters, corresponding compensation mirrors need to be specially designed. This method is not universal
For those irregular and non-rotationally symmetrical optical free-form surfaces, it is impossible to compensate through the traditional zero compensator at all, and a special CGH must be used, that is, computational holography, but computational holography also has its advantages in the detection of free-form surfaces. Technical bottlenecks: (1) Due to the need to design a CGH corresponding to the free-form surface to be tested, the generality of detection is greatly reduced, and the high processing cost of CGH components makes the detection cost correspondingly increased; (2) When the surface gradient of the tested surface When the change is too large, the engraved line of CGH will be very dense, which directly increases the processing difficulty and error, and reduces the measurement accuracy
[0013] However, whether it is a zero compensator or a CGH, there are problems such as high processing cost, poor versatility, and difficult detection and installation, which lead to limitations in its measurement range and measurement accuracy.
