Testing of telescope optics: a new approach
暂无分享,去创建一个
Results recently obtained for the use of the curvature-sensing method as a substitute for slope sensing in optical wavefront reconstruction, using long-exposure CCD images of the beam cross-section on either side of the telescope focal plane. A program based on the solution to the Poisson equation is then applied in order to reconstruct the wavefront. Relative to the existing Hartmann sensing methods, curvature-sensing yields sensitivity comparable to that of the Shack-Hartmann test. Additional optics and reference plane-based calibration are obviated. Tests of the new method on an 88-inch Ritchey-Chretien telescope have yielded a map of residual wavefront errors as a solution of the Poisson equation.
