Metal mirrors will be widely used in the coming decades. Therefore, as one of the enabling technologies for metal optical freeform surface manufacturing, ultra-precision (UP) diamond turning error compensation has become a research hotspot. However, for the tool offset error and tool radius error, which are the main errors in UP diamond turning, no precise and efficient calculation method has been found in the literature. In this study, a more precise and efficient algorithm was developed and validated in three ways using on-machine measurement data and profilometer measurement data. After one compensation, the tool offset error can be reduced to below 0.1 μm, and the tool radius error can be reduced to below 1 micrometer, which will significantly improve the UP turning accuracy and efficiency of optical parts.

Traditional methods for testing aspheric optical lenses struggle to achieve point-by-point testing across the full aperture of the lens. To facilitate the full-aperture, high-precision, and rapid testing of aspheric optical lenses, a power testing method of lenses based on the transmission phase deflectometric technique was employed. This method determines the phase deviation of light caused by the lens, thereby fitting the transmission wavefront and quickly detecting the power distribution information of the lens. This paper constructs a power testing model based on the phase deflectometric technique, proposes a calibration method that combines DLT (direct linear transformation) and pinhole models to reduce system errors, and combines phase extraction and wavefront fitting for experimental verification. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from the commercial visual lens mapper (VM-2000). The central errors of spherical power and cylindrical power are 1% and 0.7%, respectively. This provides a reliable method for the full-aperture, high-precision, and rapid testing of aspheric optical lenses. Full article

Measurement traceability is a prerequisite for achieving accurate and reliable results as well as technical standardization. The period of Chromium (Cr) gratings fabricated by atomic lithography can be directly traced back to natural constants. Applying the Cr grating to grating interferometry can achieve nanometer measurement traceability. This research aims to analyze the diffraction efficiency characteristics of self-traceable Cr gratings to provide a theoretical basis for the fabrication and application of Cr gratings. In this regard, we establish the theoretical model of the laser beam incident angle and grating diffraction efficiency using the rigorous coupled-wave method. Then, we analyze the influence of the laser beam incident angle on grating diffraction efficiency by simulation, verify the accuracy of the theoretical model, and finally build a measurement system for grating diffraction efficiency. Through experiments, we find that the diffraction efficiency of the grating shows a rapid increase to reach a stable maximum value followed by a decrease, when a laser beam with a wavelength of 405 nm is incident on the surface of a self-traceable grating in Transverse Magnetic (TM) polarization and the incident angle changes within an effective range. The experimental results are consistent with the trend of theoretical calculation results. Full article
