Modified point diffraction interferometer for inspection and evaluation of ophthalmic components

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate that a modified point diffraction interferometer can be used to measure the power distribution of different kinds of ophthalmic lenses such as spectacles, rigid and soft contact lenses, progressive lenses, etc. The relationship between the shape of the fringes and the power characteristics of the component being tested is simple and makes the design a very convenient and robust tool for inspection or quality control. Some simulations based on the Fresnel approximation are included.
