Holography as a Tool in the Testing of Large Aperture Optics

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This paper describes applications of holography to the testing of large optical surfaces. In one application a hologram of the wavefront from the mirror is made with a pulsed laser and then used in place of the mirror for Foucault knife-edge testing. This allows the mirror to be tested in its working environment. In the second application the hologram is made in the same manner, but is used in a common path interferometer where the reconstructed point image of the mirror is interfered against a point source to show the difference between the mirror surface and a reference sphere.
