Abstract

An interferometer for testing of convex spherical and aspherical mirrors has been developed and manufactured, operating according to the scheme of orthogonal rays, according to which the testing surface is illuminated by a parallel rays directed along the normal to its axis of symmetry. In contrast to the currently used devices, the interferometer does not contain auxiliary optical elements of large diameter and is suitable for monitoring large-sized convex mirrors. The results of experimental studies of the interferometer are presented. The test accuracy is sufficient for certification of mirrors operating in the optical and radio wavelength ranges.
