Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of optical precision measurement, and discloses an optical lens quality detection system and method based on a double-optical-comb interference measurementmethod, and the system comprises a light source system, an interference measurement system, and a signal processing system. The light source system comprises a first optical frequency comb and a second optical frequency comb and is used for generating two beams of laser of which the repetition frequency meets a heterodyne beat frequency condition; in the interference measurement system, an outputsignal of a first optical frequency comb is divided into a measurement light beam and a reference light beam, and the measurement light beam coincides with the reference light beam after entering a to-be-measured optical lens; the superposed measurement light beam and reference light beam are superposed with the output light beam of the second optical frequency comb again and then are divided into two beams which are respectively detected by two detection windows of the detector; and the signal processing system is used for calculating the thickness and the refractive index of the to-be-measured optical lens according to the detection signal of the detector. The thickness and the refractive index of the glass lens can be measured at the same time, and two-dimensional characterization of the glass lens is achieved.

Problems solved by technology

The mismatch between the refractive index and the design will directly affect the beam quality and imaging measurement. Similarly, if the thickness uniformity is too poor, it will also affect the normal experimental research

In order to achieve accurate measurement of the thickness and refractive index of optical glass lenses, scientists have proposed a variety of methods, including contact measurement methods and non-contact measurement methods. Among them, the contact measurement method has the advantage of convenience and low cost, but it is also easy to scratch. Injure the surface of the sample, causing damage to the sample

Non-contact measurement methods include goniometric method and interferometry. The goniometric method requires the measurement sample to be prepared into a special shape, so the small-diameter sample is generally used instead of the large-diameter glass refractive index, but the small-diameter sample cannot fully characterize the large-diameter glass. rate, real-time online detection cannot be realized, the measurement system is complex, and debugging is difficult

The measurement system based on the interferometry generally includes a movable scanning table, which will introduce mechanical errors, and the scanning range of the scanning table directly determines the maximum measurable sample thickness, which cannot realize the measurement of any glass sample
