Abstract

The invention provides a non-destructive and highly-precise refractivity measuring method for miniature optical elements and a detection device thereof. The detection method comprises the following steps: (1) lights emitted by a light source go through a collimating lens and a light gap, then the lights is parallelly incident on a first sample cell and a second sample cell; then the lights go through a convergent lens and are converged on a cylindrical mirror, and two interference fringes vertically arranged can be watched from an observation pipe behind the cylindrical mirror; (2) an optical element to be measured is put into the first sample cell, and the upper interference fringe moves relative to the lower interference fringe; (3) calculating the interference grade through watching the displacement situation of the interference fringes, and finally obtaining the refractivity value of the optical element through formula calculation. The invention utilizes a Rayleigh interferometer, establishes a novel measuring method, and utilizes the two beam interference method's characteristics of high precision, simple structure, and user-friendliness so as to achieve the non-destructive and highly-precise measurement on refractivity of miniature or deformed optical elements.
