Abstract
The absolute testing method of shift-rotation that combines the traditional -position method and Zernike polynomial fitting has been commonly employed in surface metrology. It preserves the high spatial frequency of the surface deviation with the -position method to obtain the rotationally asymmetric surface deviation, but it suffers the order angular terms errors missed by the -position method when it calculates the rotationally symmetric surface deviation with the Zernike rotationally symmetric polynomial fitting method. An optimized absolute testing method of shift-rotation is presented in this paper. It considers the missing order errors when the equations of the rotationally symmetric surface deviation are solved. As a result, it is more accurate than the traditional method. Experimental absolute results of spherical surfaces are given.
