    摘要: An apparatus 5 for detecting defects in an optical element 6 comprises an optical beam transforming surface 12 that is located on the optical element 6 and transforms a first optical beam 13 to provide a transformed first optical beam 13a. The apparatus 5 further comprises an optical gate 7 that comprises an optical detector 9, an optical source 10 that provides a second optical beam 11, and an optical waveguide 8 that is coupled to the optical element 6 and provides an optical beam path 11a for the second optical beam 11 from the optical source 10 to the optical detector 9 when the optical element 6 is free of defects and from the optical source 10 to a destination that is partly or fully different than the optical detector 9 when the optical element 6 includes at least one defect.
