Abstract
Several meter size steep aspheric optics, with aspheric departure ranging from 100μm to 2mm, have been successfully fabricated at the College of Optical Sciences at University of Arizona. Optical metrology systems have been developed for measuring the optical surfaces efficiently and accurately. These systems include laser tracker surface profiler, swing arm optical CMM with different type of sensors, slope measurements with SCOTS, the Software Configurable Optical Test System (SCOTS) and interferometry with computer generated holograms. We summarize the test methods and provide comparison of the relative strengths and weaknesses.
