An Achromatic 3D-Interferometer for Monitoring and Analyzing Wavefront Quality

Modern methods of monitoring the wavefront of optical beams are analyzed. An achromatic 3D-interferometer for the express monitoring of wavefront quality over a wide spectral range is considered. An experiment and an example of the interference patterns of a plane and distorted wavefronts of laser b...

Description
Summary:Modern methods of monitoring the wavefront of optical beams are analyzed. An achromatic 3D-interferometer for the express monitoring of wavefront quality over a wide spectral range is considered. An experiment and an example of the interference patterns of a plane and distorted wavefronts of laser beams, which have passed through laminar or turbulent air flows, are described.
