Research abstract
Current methods for measuring optical figure and transmitted wavefront error are challenged for large aspheric optical components . Lack of symmetry and large size make traditional measurement techniques impractical. Tanner Research proposes to develop an approach that overcomes these obstacles by leveraging existing techniques with advanced algorithms and a customized mechanism that enables a practical means for measuring surface finish and wavefront distortion. The goal is a compact, low-cost metrology instrument that produces surface finish and wavefront error maps, which can be used in the iterative refinement of large aspheric objects.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))
