Absolute figure metrology of high precision optical surfaces

Phase measuring interferometers can provide extremely repeatable comparisons between reference and test surfaces. This thesis explores the limits to which the accuracy of measurement of flat, spherical and aspheric optical surfaces can be made to approach that repeatability. Analysis of conventional...
