Abstract

The optical aberrations from a reflecting surface have been analyzed using a variety of instrumentation. The instruments used have depended on the direct reflection from the surface under test. They have measured the optical path difference (OPD) that the light has traveled during the reflection. The aberrations occur when there is an OPD between the wavefront of the test optics and the return wavefront of the object being tested.
