Because lasers have good coherence, measuring a plane-parallel optical element produces interference fringes between its front surface and the interferometer reference, between its rear surface and the reference, and between the front and rear surfaces themselves. These three fringe sets overlap, and conventional methods cannot directly analyze such an interferogram. A common approach is to coat the sample's rear surface with grease such as petroleum jelly. With a refractive index close to1.5, similar to most optical glasses, the grease acts like a roughened rear surface and removes unwanted rear-surface interference. However, it risks contaminating the sample and is ineffective for high-index optical glass. Multi-surface measurement technology (MST) provides a solution. It uses a wavelength-tunable laser: wavelength-induced phase shifts depend on cavity length, giving each fringe set from a plane-parallel optical element a unique cavity-length-related frequency. By analyzing a single acquired dataset, Shineoptics' multi-surface measurement algorithm independently separates the profiles of the parallel surfaces. A single measurement therefore directly yields three characteristics: front-surface figure, rear-surface figure, and optical-thickness variation.

Key Features

Parallel-plane measurement: a single scan acquisition directly provides multiple parallel-plane parameters: front-surface figure, rear-surface figure, optical thickness variation, and physical total thickness variation (TTV). Optical homogeneity measurement of plane-parallel plates: the traditional classical four-step method separately measures the front-surface figure, rear-surface figure, transmitted wavefront, and empty cavity. Optical homogeneity measurement based on multi-surface technology requires only two steps. First, align the interferometer TF, RF and sample parallel, then acquire front- and rear-surface and transmitted-wavefront data in one measurement. Second, remove the sample and measure the empty cavity. The sample's front-surface figure, rear-surface figure, optical thickness variation, physical thickness variation TTV and optical homogeneity can then be displayed together.
