"Introduction to Interferometric Optical Testing"
This short course introduces the field of interferometric optical testing. Topics covered include basic interferometers for optical testing, concepts of direct phase measurement (phase-shifting) interferometry, testing of flats, spheres, windows, prisms, and corner cubes, long wavelength interferometry, testing of aspheric surfaces, measurement of surface microstructure, and absolute measurements of flats, spheres, and surface roughness. (Full course outline)
Instructor: Dr. James C. Wyant, Professor Emeritus & Founding Dean, College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona
Dr. Wyant currently teaches this course at various national conferences. CPIA brings him to you, right here at home, saving you travel expenses and providing access to national level instruction at a fraction of the overall cost. Dr. Wyant is professor emeritus at the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, where he was Director (1999-2005), Dean (2005-2012), and a faculty member since 1974. He received a B.S. in physics from Case Western Reserve University and M.S. and Ph.D. in optics from the University of Rochester. He was a founder of the WYKO Corporation and served as its president and board chairman from 1984 to 1997. He is also a founder of the 4D Technology Corporation and currently serves as its board chairman.For details of his experience and qualifications, review his bio.
This course will enable participants to:
- Explain the basic concepts of interferometric optical testing
- Appreciate the power, capabilities, and limitations of phase-shifting interferometry
- Know how to do interferometric optical testing in the presence of vibration and turbulence
- Understand techniques for testing mirrors, lenses, windows, prisms, and corner cubes
- Appreciate interferometric measurements of index inhomogeneity
- Compare and understand different aspheric testing techniques
- Understand capabilities and techniques for measuring surface microstructure
- Understand methods for performing absolute measurements of flat surfaces, spherical surfaces, and surface roughness
- Describe the current state-of-the-art of direct phase measurement interferometers
Intended Audience
Engineers, scientists, managers and others who need to understand modern interferometric optical testing techniques and the advantages and disadvantages of the various optical tests.
