Abstract

Performance parameters describe a phase-measuring interferometer's system operating conditions, its ability to acquire information in a given testing environment, and the quality of that information. This paper presents a review of these parameters, their definitions and quantification. Additionally, a self-referencing technique is presented for the absolute calibration and removal of an interferometer reference wavefront signature.
