The optical surface has a roughness of less than 1 nm rms, and the outline of the optical surface includes a portion where the main surface extends beyond the optical surface by less than 0.2 mm. Manufacturing the mirror may involve polishing the optical surface in regions of the main surface extending beyond the optical surface and removing material of the substrate carrying a portion of the surface extending beyond the optical surface.

    摘要: The method serves for the interferometric measurement of non-rotationally symmetric wavefront errors on a specimen (1). The specimen (1) is brought in this case into a number of rotational positions, at least one measurement result being determined in each of the rotational positions. In conclusion, a mathematical evaluation of all measurement results is performed. The measurement is carried out in at least two measurement series (M, N). The measurement results (M1 . . . Mm; N1 . . . Nn) of each of the measurement series (M, N) are determined respectively in mutually equidistant rotational positions of the specimen (1). Each of the measurement series (M, N) comprises a specific number (m, n) of measurements. The individual numbers (m, n) are natural and mutually coprime numbers. The measurement results (M1 . . . Mm, N1 . . . Nn) of each of the at least two measurement series (M, N) are evaluated independently of one another for non-rotationally symmetric wavefront errors ( m, n) on the specimen, a difference of the at least two non-rotationally symmetric wavefront errors ( m, n) being formed. The difference ( m− n) that is formed is computationally rotated m or n times and the results are averaged out. At least one of the wavefront errors ( m, n) is corrected with the result ( m− n>m or m− n>n) averaged in this way.
