ABSTRACT:
A shearing interferometer measures the aberration of a lens by passing a beam through the lens, splitting the beam into plural beams with a slightly wedged plate and causing interference between the wavefronts of the beams. The front and rear optical surfaces of the wedged plate are coated with reflective thin films each having a specific reflectance and transmittance.
