Abstract
- The lack of rapid, effective, and quantitative testing methods in the initial stages of optical processing has been identified as a significant challenge. In response, an innovative approach has been developed to enhance the Foucault knife-edge test method, integrating digital image processing and spatial geometry algorithms. This has resulted in the creation of a convenient and rapid optical testing method, which has been successfully implemented in practice. The method requires the collection of only two knife-edge shadow grams, which are then subjected to calculation. This enables the theoretical results of the knife-edge shadow gram at the focal point, and the reference results of the wavefront surface processing error of the mirror to be measured can be obtained. The method can be well applied to the testing work of optical workshops and provides a guiding solution with better performance for optical testing than the traditional knife-edge testing method.
