摘要:
A measurement apparatus (10) for determining a shape of an optical surface. An illumination module (16) produces an illumination wave (34), an interferometer (18) splits the wave into a test wave (50), which is directed onto the optical surface, and a reference wave (52). The relative tilt between the waves produces a multi-fringe interference pattern (66) in a detection plane (62) of the interferometer when the waves are superposed. A pupil plane (28) of the illumination module is arranged in a Fourier plane of the detection plane and the illumination module is configured to produce the illumination wave so that the intensity distribution thereof in the pupil plane includes at least one spatially isolated and contiguous surface region (38) such that a rectangle (74) with the smallest possible area fitted to the surface region or the totality of surface regions has an aspect ratio of at least 1.5:1.

摘要:
The spatial structure of an optical element is determined. The optical element has a first optically active surface and a second optically active surface. The optical element is arranged in a holding device. The position of a point (P) on the first optically active surface and the position of a point (P′) on the second optically active surface are referenced in a coordinate system fixed to the holding device. The topography of the first optically active surface is determined in a coordinate system referenced to the holding device by the position of point (P) and the spatial structure of the optical element is calculated from the topography of the first optically active surface and from a data set as to the topography of the second optically active surface. The data set is referenced to the fixed coordinate system of the holding device by the position of point (P′).
