摘要:
A method of manufacturing an optical system comprises assembling an optical element on a mounting frame thereof. The mounting frame is disposed on a rotary table having an axis of rotation, and the mounting frame is adjusted such that a predefined axis of symmetry thereof is parallel to the axis of rotation. The optical element is placed on the mounting frame, and an interferometric measurement of a surface of the optical element is performed. The interferometric measurement is analyzed to arrange the optical element relative to the mounting frame such that a predefined axis of the optical element is parallel to the axis of rotation.
摘要:
A method of qualifying a diffraction grating comprises performing plural measurements by illuminating a region of the grating with a beam of measuring light and detecting an intensity of measuring light diffracted by the grating into a 0th diffraction order. A wavelength of the measuring light or a polarization of the measuring light or an angle of incidence of the measuring light onto the diffraction grating is varied between subsequent measurements. A shape parameter of diffracting elements forming the grating comprises a pitch, height or width of structural features of the diffracting elements. The shape parameter is advantageously used in analyzing interferometric measurements performed on optical surfaces during manufacture of optical elements of a high accuracy.
