Patent ID: 10337850

Abstract:
A measurement arrangement (10) and an associated method for interferometrically determining the surface shape (12) of a test object (14) includes a light source (16) providing an input wave (18) and a diffractive optical element (24). The diffractive optical element is configured to produce in each case by way of diffraction from the input wave a test wave (26), which is directed at the test object (14) and has a wavefront that is adapted at least partially to a desired shape of the optical surface, and a reference wave (28). The measurement arrangement furthermore includes a reflective optical element (30) that back-reflects the reference wave (28) and a capture device (36) that captures an interferogram produced by superposing the test wave after interaction with the test object and the back-reflected reference wave (28), in each case after a further diffraction at the diffractive optical element in a capture plane (48).
