Procedure and apparatus for the absolute measurement of the geometrical or optical structure of an optical component.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for absolute measurement of the geometrical or optical structure of an optical component (4), comprising steps consisting in: - illuminating the said optical component with incident light, the wavefront of which is known, - measuring, in a given plane, the maps of the slopes of the wavefront of the said light after reflection from the said optical component or transmission by the said optical component, which furthermore comprises at least one calculation procedure consisting in deducing the geometrical or optical structure of the optical component from the said measurement of the slope maps. A further subject of the invention is a device for implementing this method. The invention is applied in particular in the field of ophthalmology for checking or measuring ophthalmic lenses or moulds for fabricating ophthalmic lenses. <IMAGE>
