Abstract
Circularly symmetrical phase etched computer-generated hologram (CGH) are widely used to test aspheric surface. In CGH fabrication errors, pattern distortion errors not only strongly affect the test precision but also can’t be facilely eliminated. In order to improve the test accuracy of system, a moiré fringes method is described for testing circularly symmetrical pattern distortion. Compared with the conventional method of using microdensitometer, the new method is more accurate and quicker for measuring the pattern distortion. Then, based on the accurate measurement of CGH pattern distortion, the impact on test accuracy that pattern distortion brings is eliminated with synthetic wavefront error map. Finally, through computer simulating, it is proved that the new method can effectively reduce the impact on test accuracy that pattern distortion brings.
