ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring a refracting power of an optical system to be inspected. A beam source generates a luminous flux which passes through the optical system to be inspected. A rotating plate intermittently blocks the beam after passing through the optical system to be inspected. A beam receiving element receives the beam passing through the optical system to be inspected and intermittently blocked by the rotating plate, and outputs a beam reception signal based on the received beam. A rotational position detector detects a rotational position of the rotating plate and outputs a rotational plate detection signal based on the detected rotational position of the rotating plate. Further, a calculating means calculates the refracting power of the optical system to be inspected based on a change quantity from the detected rotational plate detection signal to the detected beam reception signal.
