Abstract: An apparatus for analyzing the deleterious characteristics of optically transparent bodies, including distortion, multiple imaging and birefringence. A beam of light is projected along an optical axis onto a beam splitter. The reflected segment passes through the transparent body and is then reflected back along nearly the same path toward the beam splitter by a retro-reflective screen lying at the image plane of the beam. The portion of the reflected beam passing directly through the beam splitter is detected by an optical sensor in substantial orientation with the axis of the beam reaching it. Distortions and multiple imaging are detected by shape changes and images, respectively, in a pattern of opaque areas superimposed on the originating beam. Birefringence is analyzed by polarizing the originating beam and observing the color pattern and intensity reaching the sensor.

Abstract: An improved system for measuring absolute angular deviation through transparencies, such as aircraft windscreens, uses an incoherent light source and a target configuration in the form of an opaque slide with a transparent "L"-shaped pattern. The positions of images of the legs of the "L" passed through the transparency are detected by CCD arrays for measurement of the azimuth and elevation components of angular deviation for each tested point on the transparency, uncontaminated by lateral displacement errors.

Abstract: A method of measuring optical properties of a transparency uses a video camera for focusing and then refocusing an image of a point source of light transmitted through a test region when the transparency is first absent and then later present at the test region. The distance the camera needs to be moved together with the focal length of a focusing lens used in carrying out the method provide sufficient quantitative data to calculate the spherical optical power of the transparency. Also, the camera generates video images of the point source both before and after the transparency is present in the test region. These images are displayed on a screen containing a grid pattern which facilitates measurement of the displacement of the image from the center of the grid or from the optical axis due to the presence of prismatic deviation in the transparency. Given the earlier data and supplemented by the latter displacement quantity, the prismatic deviation of the transpareny can also be calculated.

Abstract: A method for dynamically recording distortion in a transparency includes a support fixture for mounting the transparency for movement about a predetermined horizontal or vertical axis, with a camera disposed in back of the transparency while a test target is disposed in front of it. The test target has a plurality of small light sources arranged in a rectangular matrix pattern toward which the camera is aimed through the transparency. By opening the camera shutter for a period of time as the transparency is moved through a predetermined angle, a photographic record of distortion at a plurality of regions in the transparency is produced.

Abstract: A method of measuring haze of an aircraft transparency includes producing a first reading representative of the level of light scattered by an area of a transparency under test while on the aircraft when it is illuminated by a known light source, and producing a second reading representative of the level of light scattered by a predetermined, preferably worst haze condition, reference plate when it is illuminated by the light source in place of the transparency. Then, a ratio of the first and second readings is calculated to provide a quantitative measure proportional to the degree of haze in the transparency test area.
