Abstract:

In order to realize wavefront reconstruction over full aperture of aspheric surface at the beginning of polishing, a novel method combing coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and digital interferometer is proposed. The main part of surface is able to be measured by interferometer. The rest part, wavefront of which cannot be recovered by interferometer, could be measured by CMM. By combing the data from CMM and interferometer, the error of surface can be reconstructed and the wavefront over full aperture can be obtained ultimately. In our testing, wavefront of an off-axis aspheric surface with 540mm diameter was successfully reconstructed over full aperture during the process from grinding to polishing. The availability of the method for wavefront reconstruction of aspheric surface is proved by the results.
