Interferometeric apparatus for analyzing the wavefront and intensity distribution of collimated beams from fiber optic collimators, lasers, and the like. The collimated beams are directed through a plate beamsplitter and combined with a well defined diverging, spherical reference beam preferably generated by a single mode fiber. Reference and test beams are directed through an optical assembly for changing magnification to selectively control lateral resolution at a detector plane. Phase shifting analysis is performed on the resultant interference patterns to analyze the wavefront, and intensity profile is determined as a separate step.
