ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing an optical element having an optical surface of a target shape includes performing an interferometric test using an interferometer optics, wherein the interferometer optics includes a hologram that deflects a beam of measuring light by a substantial angle or that displaces an axis of symmetry of measuring light emerging from the hologram with respect to an axis of symmetry of measuring light incident on the hologram.
