Abstract
Twyman-Green interferometer is developed for assessment of IR optical system performance. Light source is $CO_2$ gas laser which has 10.6$\mu \textrm m$ wavelength. The light beam is expanded to 2.5 cm dia by Ge lens and splitted by ZnSe parallel plane plate. One of the beams is reflected by refernce mirror which is operated PZT. The fringe will be detected by a pyro-electric vidicon camera and displayed by a CRT monitor. Here, the IR firinge is recorded on the thermal paper. In visible region, the light source is He-Ne laser. The fringe is detected by a CCD camera and displayed by the CRT monitor. The intensity of the fringe is digitized by a image card and processed by a PC. The wavefront aberration function, PSF and OTF are calculated. The results are displayed in 3-D graphs on the monitor or printed out by a line printer.
적외선 광원으로 $CO_2$ 레이저를 사용하였고 광속을 2.5 cm의 직경으로 확대하여 Twyman-Green 간섭계를 구성하였다. 각종 렌즈는 Ge 렌즈로, 광속분리기는 ZnSe 평행판으로 택하였다. Pyro-electric vidicon camera에 의해 CRT monitor에 간섭무늬를 제시하며 image card에 의해 digitize되고 PC로 강도분포가 입력되어 data처리된다. 여기서, 적외선 간섭무늬는 thermal paper 상에 기록하였다. 가시영역에서는 He-Nefp이저를 광원으로 하고 CCD 카메라로 검출하여 CRT monitor에 제시하였다. 파면수차함수, PSF, OTF가 계산되어 3차원 그래프로 제시되며 프린트 된다.
