Abstract

Interferometry has been used widely to evaluate the large-scale deviations from flatness of optical surfaces. However, when making measurements of small-scale irregularities with very small amplitudes, over a wide range of spatial frequencies, errors can arise due to scattered light and the transfer function of the imaging system. A theoretical analysis of these errors showing how they can be minimized is presented.
