Abstract

Absolute testing methods have been widely employed in the accurate metrology of optical surface deviation. As a general method, the shift-rotation method requires several rotations and translations of the surface under test. And the surface deviation of the reference and the surface under test can be both calculated in terms of Zernike polynomials. The validity of the shift and rotation procedure was proved through experiments. Two different transmission spheres (with the same F number but different quality of the reference surfaces) were used to test the same spherical surface under test. The test results of the spherical surface under test are in good agreement.
