Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical precision measurement technology, and more particularly to a wavefront fusion reconstruction method and device. Background Art
[0002] Aspheric optical elements can correct the aberration and chromatic aberration of infrared or visible light imaging systems, increase the field of view, simplify the structure of the optical system, and make the optical design more flexible. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of manufacturing technology and the increasing demand for complex optical surface measurement, especially in the fields of optics and precision machining, aspheric surface shape detection has become increasingly important.
[0003] As one of the effective means of optical detection, lateral shearing interferometry technology has the advantages of low requirements for measurement environment stability, low requirements for light source coherence, strong anti-interference ability, and no need for additional reference surfaces. However, traditional single shearing interferometry technology is limited when dealing with aspheric surfaces, especially when the surface shape is complex and the curvature changes greatly, its measurement accuracy and stability are challenged. Specifically, the curvature of the aspheric ring zone is inconsistent, especially when the asphericity is large, the aberration between the surface and the optimal sphere increases, resulting in dense interference fringes in the edge area of the aspheric surface shape and uneven fringing distribution. Excessive density of interference fringes causes local distortion of the interference pattern and reduces the resolution of the edge fringes, which in turn affects the measurement precision and accuracy.

[0056] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0057] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a wavefront fusion reconstruction method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 The wavefront fusion reconstruction method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail. Figure 1 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:
[0058] Step 101: Determine the coordinates of the limit resolution point of the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface to be measured according to the Nyquist sampling theorem, divide the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface to be measured into annular zones according to the limit resolution point coordinates, and determine the shear amount of the annular zone area according to the number of pixels occupied by the boundary fringes of the annular zone area; wherein the shear amount determined for each annular zone area is used to analyze the shear interference fringes in the annular zone area;
[0059] Step 102: The aspheric surface to be measured, which has been divided into annular zones, is passed through an interferometer to obtain a shearing interference fringe pattern corresponding to each annular zone region, and a wrapped phase extraction is performed on the shearing interference fringe pattern to obtain a wrapped phase value, and the wrapped phase value is unpacked to obtain a true phase value corresponding to the annular zone region.
[0060] Step 103: performing differential processing on the true phase value to obtain a phase difference between adjacent phases, and fitting the phase difference using a differential Zernike polynomial to obtain a ring zone area shape corresponding to each of the ring zones;
[0061] Step 104 , stitching the multiple annular zone area shapes to obtain a wavefront shape of the same size as the aspheric surface to be measured, fitting the wavefront shape by differential Zernike polynomials to obtain a reconstructed shape corresponding to the aspheric surface to be measured.
[0062] In step 101, the aspheric surface shape to be measured is divided into annular zones according to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the coordinates of the limit resolution points of the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface shape to be measured are calculated according to the division formula, and the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface shape to be measured is divided into annular zones according to the coordinates of the limit resolution points to obtain at least an inner annular zone area and an outer annular zone area.
[0063] Specifically, the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface to be measured is as follows:
[0064] W s =2(n(x)-s(x))′| x (1)
[0065] The coordinates of the limit resolution point of the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface to be measured satisfy the following formula:
[0066]
[0067] Among them, W s represents the wavefront slope of the aspheric surface to be measured, s(x) represents the optimal spherical equation, D represents the aperture of the aspheric surface to be measured, ρ represents the number of available pixels of the imaging CCD on the interferometer, and n(x) represents the equation of the aspheric surface to be measured.
[0068]
[0069] Where c represents the inverse of the radius of curvature of the aspheric vertex, k represents the quadratic surface coefficient, k = 1-e 2 , e represents the eccentricity of the aspheric surface.
[0070] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the aspheric surface shape obtained by simulation through formula (3) is subtracted from the optimal spherical surface to generate the aspheric wavefront image. Figure 3A , the aspheric wavefront slope satisfies like Figure 3B , the slope of the aspheric wavefront is substituted for the entrance diameter D and the number of imaging pixels ρ, and the limit value of the path difference change rate is calculated to be 0.39×10 -3 mm / pixel, this value is the ordinate corresponding to the limit resolution point, the x-axis represents the normalized aperture, and the abscissa of the point is the corresponding normalized aperture value. Figure 3B The path difference change rate curve of the aspheric surface shown divides the wavefront slope at the limit resolution point, and the pixel values of the inner and outer ring areas can be calculated.
[0071] Furthermore, the shearing amount of the annular zone is determined based on the size of the pixels occupied within the annular zone. Specifically, when the pixels of the boundary fringes of the inner annular zone meet the resolvable condition, the area of the inner annular zone and a first shearing amount are determined, and the first shearing amount is used to resolve the shearing interference fringes included in the inner annular zone. When the pixels of the boundary fringes of the outer annular zone meet the resolvable condition, the area of the zone and a second shearing amount are determined, and the second shearing amount is used to resolve the shearing interference fringes included in the outer annular zone.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the boundary stripes are the outermost stripes representing the boundary of the inner annular area (outer annular area). The boundary stripes of each annular area need to meet the analytical conditions. The analytical conditions here can be determined according to the sampling theorem. Specifically, according to the sampling theorem, each stripe only needs to include 2 pixels to losslessly reconstruct the original signal. In practical applications, considering the influence of noise and adjustment errors, the number of pixels included in each stripe can be increased. In an embodiment of the present invention, when each stripe occupies a width of at least 5 pixels, it can be used to display the position of a stripe, and this position is the boundary of the decomposable stripe. In an embodiment of the present invention, the boundary stripes of the annular area occupying 5 pixels are the analytical conditions.
[0073] In practical applications, the shearing amount determined for each annular zone is used to analyze the shearing interference fringes within the annular zone. The first shearing amount s1 can be selected to analyze the shearing interference fringes included in the inner annular zone, and the second shearing amount s2 can be selected to analyze the shearing interference fringes included in the outer annular zone. The annular zone division result is as follows: Figure 5A and 5B shown.
[0074] The interference device used in the method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it mainly includes a laser light source 1, a beam expansion and collimation system 2, a first beam splitter prism 3, a standard mirror 4, an aspheric surface to be measured 5, a second beam splitter prism 6, a polarization grating 7, a plane mirror 8, an imaging lens 9, a polarization camera 10, and an electronic control unit 11. Specifically, the laser light source 1 emits a parallel light beam, which passes through the beam expansion and collimation system 2 and then to the first beam splitter prism 3. After passing through the standard mirror 4, it is incident on the aspheric surface to be measured 5. The test wavefront returned from the surface of the optical element passes through the second beam splitter prism 6 and is incident on the adjustable shearing device composed of the polarization grating 7 and the plane mirror 8. The reflected light is incident on the target surface of the polarization camera through the imaging lens to collect four shearing interference patterns with different phase shifts.
[0075] In this interferometer, the reflective lateral shearing device composed of the polarization grating 7 and the plane mirror 8 is used to split a beam of light into two beams, and make the two beams of light produce lateral displacement (that is, shear), thereby forming interference fringes; the polarization grating 7 and the plane mirror 8 are arranged on an electrically controlled displacement stage, which is a high-precision mobile platform with a movement accuracy that can reach the micron or even nanometer level; the automatic control unit 11 is composed of a motor, a controller and a sensor. The function of the automatic control unit 11 is to drive the electrically controlled displacement stage to change the relative position between the polarization grating and the mirror. The automatic control unit 11 realizes precise control of the distance between the polarization grating and the mirror by controlling the electrically controlled displacement stage, flexibly adjusts the amount of shear, and realizes multiple shear interference measurements.
[0076] In step 102, based on Figure 2 The interference device shown performs shear interference on the aspheric surface to be measured that has been divided into annular zones, and obtains a shear interference fringe pattern corresponding to each annular zone area. Specifically, the four interference images obtained by a polarization camera are measured at one time, and the phase difference of the four interference images is The four-step phase shifting technology is used for phase extraction. The electric-controlled translation stage is connected to the reflective transverse shearing device to obtain multiple sets of shear interference with adjustable shearing amount. I1 and I2 are the intensities of the two shearing beams respectively. The two beams can interfere to form interference fringes. The phase information under different shearing amounts is given by express.
[0077]
[0078] The phase obtained by the four-step phase shift method is obtained by the inverse tangent function, and the phase difference is:
[0079]
[0080] Furthermore, the sheared interference fringe pattern is wrapped for phase extraction to obtain the wrapped phase value, and the wrapped phase value is unwrapped to obtain the real phase value corresponding to the annular area. Specifically, the unwrapping is because the main value phase obtained by the phase shift algorithm is not a real continuous phase, and the unwrapping algorithm is used to process it to obtain the real continuous phase information. The unwrapping operation is performed based on the weighted iterative discrete cosine transform least squares method, assuming is the unpacked phase at two-dimensional M×N discrete points, The corresponding wrapped phase is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] Furthermore, the phase difference needs to meet the following conditions:
[0083]
[0084] In practical applications, first define the wrapping operator The details are as follows:
[0085]
[0086] In the embodiment of the present invention, the difference between adjacent elements of the wrapped phase in the x direction and the difference between adjacent elements of the wrapped phase in the y direction can be defined, and then the least square method can be used to solve The specific formula is as follows
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] in, Indicates the shear amount as s m When the phase value is wrapped at two-dimensional M×N discrete points, I(0°), I(45°), I(90°), and I(135°) represent the light intensity of the four interference images in the four-step phase shift. represents the true phase value corresponding to the annular region obtained after unwrapping the wrapped phase at two-dimensional M×N discrete points, represents the difference of adjacent elements of the wrapped phase in the x direction, represents the difference of adjacent elements of the wrapped phase in the y direction, Indicates the shear amount as s m The wrapped phase value at the two-dimensional discrete point (m+1,n) when Indicates the shear amount as s m The wrapped phase value at the two-dimensional discrete point (m,n) when Indicates the shear amount as s mThe wrapped phase value at the two-dimensional discrete point (m, n+1) when , M represents the number of rows of the discrete two-dimensional matrix, N represents the number of columns of the discrete two-dimensional matrix, m=0,1,…,M-2; b=0,1,…,N-1.
[0090] In step 103, the true phase value obtained in step 102 is subjected to differential processing to obtain the phase difference between adjacent phases. The phase difference is fitted by differential Zernike polynomials to obtain the surface shape of the annular zone corresponding to each annular zone. Specifically:
[0091] The differential Zernike polynomial fitting algorithm is used to restore the surface shape of the annular zone, and multiple groups of surface shapes ΔW with different shear magnitudes are obtained. m (m=1,2,3...). Zernike wavefront fitting uses Zernike polynomials as basis functions to characterize the wavefront to be measured. Expanding the wavefront W(x,y) to be measured in the Cartesian coordinate system into the first J fringe Zernike polynomials, we can obtain the following expression:
[0092]
[0093] Where Z j (x,y) represents the basis function of the j-th Zernike polynomial, a j represents the coefficient of the j-th Zernike polynomial. The summation starts from the second term because the first term represents the constant term. Since the lateral shearing interferometry measures the difference of the wavefront in the shear direction, the constant term cannot be measured by shearing interferometry. From the above formula, we can see that the wavefront to be measured with different shear amounts in the x and y directions is and It can be expressed as:
[0094]
[0095] in, Indicates that the jth item in the x direction has a shear amount of s m The differential Zernike polynomials for , Indicates that the jth item in the y direction has a shear amount of s m The differential Zernike polynomials at the time, W(x,y) represents the wavefront function to be measured, describing the wavefront situation at the point (x,y) in the Cartesian coordinate system, s m Indicates the shear amount in the x-direction, J represents the index of the number of terms in the Zernike polynomial, j = 2,…,J, a j represents the coefficient of the j-th Zernike polynomial, Z j (x,y) represents the basis function of the j-th Zernike polynomial.
[0096] Furthermore, the jth item in the x direction has a shear amount of s m The differential Zernike polynomials when the j-th term in the y direction is sheared with s m The differential Zernike polynomials for are as follows:
[0097]
[0098] Furthermore, the differential wavefront under the same set of shear Combined into a discrete matrix:
[0099] ΔW xm =ΔZ xma (17)
[0100] ΔW ym =ΔZ ym a (18)
[0101] Where ΔZ xm and ΔZ ym Represent the differential Zernike polynomial expressions in the x and y directions respectively. Further, the differential wavefront ΔW under the same set of shear amounts is xm , ΔW ym Combined into a discrete matrix ΔW, ΔZ xm and ΔZ ym Combined into the same discrete matrix ΔZ, specifically:
[0102]
[0103] Furthermore, the Zernike coefficient vector can be obtained by solving the equation using the standard least squares method as shown below The area of the annular region ΔW can be fitted.
[0104]
[0105] Where ΔW xm Represents the wavefront vector to be measured after discretization in the x direction, ΔW ym represents the wavefront vector to be measured after discretization in the y direction, a represents the Zernike polynomial coefficient vector, represents the Zernike polynomial coefficient vector obtained by the standard least squares method, ΔZ T Denotes the transposed matrix of ΔZ, ΔZ is composed of ΔZ xm and ΔZ ym The discrete matrix (ΔZ T ΔZ) -1 represents ΔZ T The inverse matrix of ΔZ, ΔW represents the combined ΔW xm and ΔWym The discrete matrix after .
[0106] In step 104, the surface shapes of the multiple annular zones are spliced together to obtain a wavefront shape of the same size as the surface shape of the aspheric surface to be measured. The wavefront shape is fitted by differential Zernike polynomials to obtain a reconstructed surface shape corresponding to the aspheric surface to be measured. Specifically, the surface shapes of the multiple annular zones are spliced together using the following formula to obtain a differential wavefront of the wavefront to be measured:
[0107] ΔW r =ΔW1+ΔW2+…ΔW i (twenty two)
[0108] The differential wavefront of the wavefront to be measured is as follows:
[0109]
[0110] Furthermore, the surface shapes of multiple annular zones are fitted again, and the coefficients can be obtained by solving the equation using the standard least squares method. Then By substituting the following formula, we can obtain the reconstructed surface shape corresponding to the aspheric surface to be measured:
[0111]
[0112] Where ΔW r Indicates the differential wavefront of the surface to be measured after splicing, ΔZ T Denotes the transposed matrix of ΔZ, ΔZ is composed of ΔZ xm and ΔZ ym The discrete matrix (ΔZ T ΔZ) -1 represents ΔZ T The inverse matrix of ΔZ, Indicates the solution coefficient, W r (x, y) represents the reconstructed surface shape corresponding to the aspheric surface to be measured.
[0113] In summary, the method provided by the embodiments of the present invention proposes a multi-shear wavefront fusion reconstruction technique. To address the problem that the surface shape of aspheric surfaces often varies significantly between the center and edge regions, this method divides the aspheric surface into different annular zones based on the slope of the wavefront, selects shear amounts of different sizes, performs multiple shear interferences, and uses differential Zernike polynomials to restore the surface shape of the annular zones. The surface shapes of the annular zones are then fused to obtain the final surface shape. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional single shear amount technology when processing aspheric surfaces with large curvature variations, further enables the detection of large or complex aspheric surfaces, and achieves high-precision reconstruction of the wavefront to be measured.
[0114] In order to more clearly introduce a multi-shear interference wavefront fusion reconstruction method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the following is combined with Figures 3A to 5B Taking θ as an example, the wavefront fusion reconstruction method is introduced.

[0117] Divide the annular area: The slope distribution of the simulated aspheric wavefront in different areas is as follows Figure 4 As shown in Figure 2, the coordinates of the limit resolution points calculated according to the Nyquist theorem are used to divide the annular zone into zones.
[0118] Determine the shear amount and the size of the annulus: Match the appropriate shear amount to each annulus area. By simulating the shear interference fringe density under different shear amounts, select the appropriate shear amount to ensure that the shear interference fringe pattern of each annulus area can be analyzed. Calculate the number of pixels occupied by the inner and outer annulus areas to obtain the size of the annulus area. Figure 5A and 5B shown.
[0119] Extract and unpack phase: Generate lateral shearing interferograms under different shear amounts, extract phase and perform unpacking processing: Use a four-step phase shifting algorithm to extract the phase information of the wavefront to be measured from the interference image obtained by simulation.
[0120] Phase unpacking based on weighted iterative DCT least squares algorithm: The extracted wrapped phase is unpacked using the weighted iterative DCT (discrete cosine transform) least squares algorithm to obtain multiple sets of differential phases. These differential phases can reflect the phase changes of the measured wavefront in different regions.
[0121] Fitting and restoring the surface shape: Differential Zernike polynomial fitting is used to restore the surface shape. The differential Zernike polynomial fitting algorithm is used to process the differential phase data obtained in step 5 and fit the surface shape of the inner and outer ring areas.
[0122] Wavefront fusion processing: The restored local area surface shapes are spliced into a complete wavefront shape matrix. The spliced surface shape is re-fitted through a wavefront fusion algorithm based on differential Zernike polynomials to optimize the transition boundary of the spliced area.
[0123] The final result is obtained: the best fitting coefficient obtained by the least squares method is used to solve the final fusion surface shape and obtain a high-precision wavefront reconstruction result with an error of PV = 1.0636e-10λ and RMS = 4.6828e-11λ.

[0125] Step 201: wavefront ring division:
[0126] In step 2011, assume that the aperture of the aspheric surface to be measured is D = 100 mm, the number of available pixels of the imaging CCD on the interferometer is p = 1024, the wavelength λ = 0.6328 μm, and the equation of the aspheric surface to be measured is shown in formula (3). Assuming that the quadratic surface coefficient k = -3.5 (paraboloid), the inverse of the radius of curvature of the aspheric surface vertex c = 1 / 100, the optimal spherical surface equation s(x) can be determined based on the characteristics of the aspheric surface.
[0127] Step 2012: The slope of the wavefront returned from the image plane is: W s =2(n(x)-s(x))′| x , according to formula (2), the coordinates of the limit resolution point can be determined.
[0128] Specifically, the equation of the aspheric surface to be measured is first derived, and the coordinate value of the limit resolution point that satisfies the wavefront slope is found through numerical calculation, and the normalized aperture value corresponding to the limit resolution point is set to x0=0.6.
[0129] Step 2013: Divide the aspheric surface to be measured into an inner ring zone and an outer ring zone according to the coordinates of the limit resolution point. To meet the distinguishability principle, select a larger shearing amount s1 = 20 pixels; the outer ring Since it is unsolvable, a smaller clipping amount s2 = 8 pixels is selected.
[0130] Step 202: Phase extraction and unpacking:
[0131] Step 221: Use a polarization camera to measure four phase differences at once. The interference image of the four images is I1, I2, I3, and I4. According to the four-step phase shift method formula Calculating the wrapping phase
[0132] Assuming that at a certain point, I1 = 100, I2 = 80, I3 = 60, I4 = 120, then according to the four-step phase shift formula we can get:
[0133] The above calculation is performed for each pixel in the interference image to obtain the wrapped phase matrix Wrapping Phase Matrix It is a two-dimensional matrix of M×N (assuming M=10, N=10).
[0134] Step 2022, set is the wrapped phase matrix, is the corresponding unwrapping phase. First, define the wrapping operator F, The differences of adjacent elements in the x-direction and y-direction of the wrapping phase are calculated using formulas (9) and (10).
[0135] Then, we use the least squares method to solve By minimizing the objective function:
[0136]
[0137] When the objective function E reaches its minimum value, we get This is the unpacked phase of the area, that is, the true phase value.

[0140] Furthermore, the differential wavefront under the same set of shear Combined into a discrete matrix:
[0141] ΔW xm =ΔZ xm a (17)
[0142] ΔW ym =ΔZ ym a (18)
[0143] Where ΔZ xm and ΔZ ym Represent the differential Zernike polynomial expressions in the x and y directions respectively. Further, the differential wavefront ΔW under the same set of shear amounts is xm , ΔW ym Combined into a discrete matrix ΔW, ΔZ xm and ΔZym Combined into the same discrete matrix ΔZ, specifically:
[0144]
[0145] Furthermore, the standard least squares method is used to solve the equation: According to the obtained Zernike coefficient The surface shape ΔW of the annular zone can be fitted.
[0146] Step 204: Wavefront fusion and reconstruction:
[0147] Step 2041. Combine the multiple sets of regional shapes obtained in step 203 to obtain a matrix W with the same size as the original shape. r (x, y), the differential wavefront of the surface to be measured after splicing is expressed as:
[0148]
[0149] Where ΔW r is a column vector, representing the differential wavefront of the surface to be measured after splicing, ΔZ represents the differential wavefront of the surface to be measured after splicing, Indicates the solution coefficient.
[0150] The surface shapes of the multiple ring zones after splicing are fitted again, and the standard least squares method is used to solve the equation:
[0151]
[0152] The coefficients obtained will be Substituting the above equation, the wavefront to be measured is obtained, thereby realizing the reconstruction of the wavefront to be measured based on the lateral shearing interferogram of multiple shear quantities.
