A Model for Cavity Induced Errors with Wavefront Slope in High Accuracy Spherical Fizeau Metrology (ABSTRACT)
A Practical Implementation of the Random Ball Test (ABSTRACT)
ABSTRACT: The random ball test for calibrating interferometer transmission spheres was reported about 8 years ago but there did not appear to be an ideal ball. Now, nearly ideal balls are available. The paper describes commercially available hardware for performing the random ball test and example results from the test.
