Mathematical and physical modeling of holographic testing scheme of telescope optical system

The results of efforts concerning the creation of a testing system of the wavefront deformations in a telescope optical highway based on use of the holographic optical element (HOE) are presented. Mathematical modeling of the holographic testing scheme and its correlation with telescope performance are made in frames of geometrical and wave optics. The principals of HOE recording on the basis of relief-phase holography combined with ion- chemical processing are carried out. The results of physical modeling of the holographic testing scheme are presented.
