The invention relates to an aspheric
wavefront detection device and method based on multi-direction orthogonal
lateral shear interference. The device is composed of a
laser, a linear
polarizer, a light splitting element, a reflector array, a two-dimensional orthogonal
grating array, a light splitting
system, a polarization phase shifting element and a
CMOS camera. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, an antisymmetric
continuation method is included, secondly, dynamic phase
recovery and
distortion compensation are adopted, Zernike polynomial local fitting is introduced, and self-adaptive compensation is carried out on high-order aberration (such as
coma aberration and
trefoil aberration) of an aspheric surface
edge region. According to the method, the multi-direction orthogonal lateral shearing interferogram can be obtained through
single measurement, and a high-precision, high-efficiency and high-robustness solution is provided for precise detection of the aspheric optical element through cooperation of an
algorithm and hardware. The method is suitable for high-precision phase
recovery in the fields of optical detection,
microscopic imaging and the like, and is suitable for high-precision dynamic detection of complex optical elements such as off-axis aspheric surfaces, free-form surfaces and the like.
