Abstract

The application discloses a kind of tilting wave surface infrared interference detection methods of double optical fiber interference arm, it is related to the field of optical precision measurement.The light emitted by wavelength tunable laser passes through coupler and is divided into two beams, one is directly output by polarization maintaining optical fiber as reference light, the other is incident to optical fiber array and outputs multiple standard spherical waves with different tilt angles as test light, compensates the surface gradient of different regions of the measured surface, thereby reducing the interference fringe density.Both the reference arm and the test arm of the system use optical fiber as an ideal point source generator, which can control the on-off of the point source and reduce the system error introduced by the use of lenses.The light emitted by the test arm optical fiber is all used as test light, which improves the utilization rate of the point source, increases the aperture of the measured surface, and realizes surface shape detection without moving the interference device, reducing the error introduced by mechanical movement.The system uses infrared light as the measurement beam to improve the dynamic measurement range, which can meet the detection of more gradient-changing large-aperture components.
