|    How to measure cemented surface form by     |
|    09 Dec 12 18:40:29    |
      From: etaloncn@gmail.com              Hello everyone,       I have some mid-sized cemented doublets, diameter about 40mm. From fringes       after cementing curing, I can see some bad irregularity of surface form. I       want to ensure this irregularity without splitting doublets. I already failed       in two ways.       1, Focus Zygo beam at spherical center of cemented surface (already       transformed by the first surface)       2, Put plan mirror at focus point at transmitted beam though doublets. Check       the reflected wavefront. For the irregularity is not like astigmatism. So, I       think plan mirror does not interfere trouble shoot too much.              But above methods does not work either, for the interferogram seems to show       some overlapping effect and it does not match what is seen directly on fringes       in cemented surface. I think maybe the first surface bring some spherical       aberration to wavefront        or rest sperical aberation of doublet take some effects. Now I am thinking       whether decreasing aperture helps or not.              Does anyone have advices on it?              Thank you very much!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
