Abstract

The cylinder geometry allows for grazing incidence tests of optical surfaces let it be micro- or macro cylinder lenses. By using diffiactive beam splitter and beam shaping elements a grazing incidence interferometer can be built where the zero diffraction order is used as reference beam and one of the first orders as probe beam for the cylinder surface. Circular as well as noncircular meridian curves can be dealt with by shaping the DOE structure accordingly. The structure of the DOE are parallel curves to the meridian providing a constant spatial frequency which alleviates the lithographic process. The fringes indicate surface deviations from fringe to fringe by p/2 where p is the pitch of the DOE. A description of a micro- and a macro-interferometer together with measuring results will be given.
