Patent ID: 10627222

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting a cylinder and a cylindrical converging lens are disclosed. In particular, a method for non-contact interference detection of a cylindrical shape is disclosed. Two converging lenses which modulate parallel light into cylindrical waves are combined with a to-be-tested cylinder respectively. Wavefront error data of the combination of the converging lens and the to-be-tested cylinder and wavefront error data of the combination of the two cylindrical converging lenses are obtained. Shape error data of the to-be-tested cylinder, the two cylindrical converging lenses is obtained respectively by using a difference algorithm and a wavefront recovery algorithm. In the technical solution, a detection light path is simple, and shape detection of a cylinder with relatively high precision can be implemented without using a high-precision detection tool calibrated in advance. The technical solution is particularly suitable for cylinder processing in the field of optical processing.
