The invention discloses a method for measuring the
refractive index and the
Abbe number of a lens based on double-
fiber point
diffraction transverse interference, and belongs to the technical field of optical measurement. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, setting the center of a line-scan
digital camera as a space original point, arranging a measuring
optical fiber point light source and a reference
optical fiber point light source in parallel at a preset distance right in front of the midpoint of the line-scan
digital camera, and determining coordinate positions of the two
optical fiber point light sources in a two-dimensional space according to a corresponding relation between a phase and an
optical path by collecting and
processing a phase-shifting interferogram; on the premise that
surface type parameters and thickness of the lens are known, the possible range of the
refractive index of the lens is set through
simulation, an
optical path difference formed by two optical
fiber point light sources at a specific position of an
image plane after passing through the lens of the glasses is deduced by using a
ray tracing method, then a function relationship between the
optical path difference and the
refractive index is fitted, and a measurement model is constructed; during actual measurement, a to-be-measured lens sample is placed between the optical
fiber point light source and the
linear array camera, the actual optical path difference is measured, and the refractive index and
Abbe number values can be accurately calculated by substituting the actual optical path difference into the model in combination with lens
surface type, thickness parameters and optical path difference data. The measuring device is simple in structure, and high-precision and convenient measurement of the refractive index and the
abbe number of the lens can be realized.
