Lattice design for subaperture stitching test of a concave paraboloid surface.

Lattice design is subtle and complicated for the subaperture stitching test of aspheric surfaces. Methods are described in this paper for the collection and arrangement of subapertures, and calculation of the best-fit sphere for each subaperture. The best-fit sphere is determined by minimizing the mean-square aspheric deviations in the form of a surface integral. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the procedure, and also to verify the validity of our proposed methods.

Iterative algorithm for subaperture stitching test with spherical interferometers.

Recently we have proposed an iterative algorithm for subaperture stitching interferometry. It was referred to as the subaperture stitching and localization (SASL) algorithm. The limitation of the algorithm is that three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates are required, whereas the standard spherical interferometer can read out only the phase differences on the pixels. On the basis of the SASL algorithm, we propose an iterative algorithm for a spherical subaperture stitching test. It deals with data directly from the spherical interferometer. Unknown radii of best-fit spheres for a null test of subapertures are included in the optimization variables. The developed algorithm inherits the advantages of the SASL algorithm.
