Abstract

En 中文
The pixel modulation transfer function response degrades the contrast of non-null interferometric surface figure measurements. We experimentally quantify this effect for spatial frequencies ranging from 0 to 363 lp/mm (approximate to 3.33 times the Nyquist limit). Our results show a low SNR spatial frequency band that behaves like a low-pass filter for sub-Nyquist interferometry and a stop-band filter for multiple-wavelength phase-shifting interferometry. We also introduce a multiple-mode, multiple-wavelength interferometry approach to measure optical surfaces with slope departure angles mapping to spatial frequencies in this low SNR band. The extended measurement range of this approach is achieved without using a sparse-array detector. (C) 2021 Optical Society of America
