Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to study a kind of brand-new measuring system, is prerequisite with the measurement of noncontact Newton ring, utilize one be skillfully constructed, succinct scanning system, with CCD imaging and computer data is handled and interpretation combines new method.Not only measurement range is big for it, and can non-contact detecting the concave, convex sphere, be not too harsh to environment requirement simultaneously, be simple in structure, easy to use, a novel non-contacting measuring system of radius-of-curvature real-time.
The optical principle of larger radius of curvature measuring system
As shown in Figure 1, the He-Ne laser beam is vertically injected a polarization spectroscope (PBS) behind beam-expanding collimation, reflected light is injected reference surface, transmitted ray is behind a pentaprism, return after vertically injecting plane was seized, dredge the close donut in limit in behind polarization spectroscope PBS, forming, again through the imaging system imaging on the CCD array, for adapting to the tested surface of different reflectivity, use polarized systems, rotate the light intensity of 1/2 wave plate scalable twin-beam, be i.e. P, S component by PBS, make to obtain better fringe contrast, the measurement equation is:
Or
R in the formula
i---the radius of corresponding a certain Crape ring;
N---the fringe order at this relative center of Crape ring;
λ---wavelength.
Because the non-cpntact measurement center may not be zero level, therefore must calculate with the back formula of two Crape ring radiuses.In the test, at first debug out desirable interference fringe, Fig. 2 (a) is to utilize Fig. 1 system to resemble the noncontact Newton ring image that obtains on the face at CCD (b), data acquisition system (DAS) is carried out image acquisition and storage to first width of cloth interferogram shown in Fig. 2 (a) earlier, determine the O point by computer interpretation, the pentaprism scanning system moves along being parallel to the incident light axis direction then, light beam is along tested spherical scanning, this moment, fringe center O point moved on to that O ' locates shown in Fig. 2 (b), in like manner computer interpretation is determined O ' point, and the number of picture elements between the OO ' is P
lSimultaneously, the precision length measurement system measures the actual displacement l of pentaprism system in scanning.Equation (1) can be written as thus:
In the formula: l---the distance of OO ', corresponding CCD number of picture elements P
l
K---object plane length value with resemble the scale-up factor that the face prime pair is answered
---the number of picture elements between i corresponding Crape ring
Scanning can have two kinds of forms: one is the described pentaprism scanning system of Fig. 1 (a).Also can use the form of Fig. 1 (b).Replace pentaprism with catoptron, and sample is scanned and measure displacement l.Adopting the prerequisite of sample scanning is to have a precision to move guiding systems, otherwise the nonlinearity of guide rail will make sample inclination, can not return along former road thereby make along the reflection ray at plane was seized center, on the CCD imaging surface, introduce error, also make simultaneously the metering of l introduce the single order Abbe error, and the characteristics of pentaprism scanning system are: to go into, emergent ray (this mainly is to be decided by the precision of the machining angle of pentaprism) basically all the time at an angle of 90.Therefore in the scanning process, influence is insensitive to the guide rail nonlinearity along the reflection ray at plane was seized center, and then the reflection ray at center returns along former road all the time.So just can avoid in accurate the calculating because the single order Abbe error that the guide rail nonlinearity is introduced the measuring accuracy of assurance l.
The characteristics of this interference testing system are that reference surface and plane was seized place same direction, and lean on very closely as far as possible, to suppress external environmental interference effectively, the contact of Newton method is modified into non-cpntact measurement, in order to avoid face shape is impaired, simultaneously can survey concave surface again, pentaprism scanning precision length measurement system combines with CCD fringe location technology, can make a series of data processing and interpretation with computing machine.
In the measurement, press the definite tested surface bores of rise measurement such as approaching according to different radius-of-curvature, make and be projected in CCD and resemble an amount of striped is arranged on the face, mainly be to handle for the discretize of following interference image to satisfy sampling theorem and fitting of a polynomial, like this for the tested sphere of different radii, imaging system is varifocal to have an amount of fringe number to satisfy on the CCD, so that the data processing of the analytical method of interference fringe and interpretation.As to R=25 rice the time, when beam size is 25mm, nearly 10 stripe are arranged then in the visual field, help the data processing of image.
The digitized processing of stripe image
After the interference image CCD sampling and A/D conversion that above-mentioned optical system produces, along the resulting ideal curve in interferogram center.This group is dredged the discrete pattern that the limit changed by the cosine rule in each close cycle in directions X stretches.By (2) formula as can be known, must obtain the radius of any two Crape rings.Observe pattern, similar with parabolical shape in each cycle.Consideration is in the interference fringe by stages at adjacent Feng Yifeng and carries out fitting of a polynomial, makes discrete pattern serialization, ask after the extreme value can with the exact value to N Crape ring, finally try to achieve R.
In the actual measurement, resulting data also include noise except that information.This shows as fluctuation and burr in the gray-scale map of interference fringe.Fig. 3 (a) is the discrete data figure that measures.As seen bigger noise is arranged, therefore can't determine fit interval in the above-mentioned data fitting, and interval wrong, will influence fitting of a polynomial, make the extreme point displacement of Crape ring.In the data processing, utilize the digital filter of gliding smoothing method, the elimination random noise obtains more smooth discrete data figure, and its equation is:
Counting of N in the formula---average data point, N=2m+1;
X
J+i(n)---the data value that different j are ordered;
Y
j(n)---the mean value that i=0 is ordered.In the processing to Y
j(n) adopt at 9 smoothly, obtain transport function by transform, its frequency response:
As seen be equivalent to a low-pass filter, it is that the smoothing effect of noise is very obvious to high fdrequency component.And Newton ring is the low frequency variations rule, is not subjected to the influence of wave filter.Fig. 3 (b) be with digital filter obtain smooth after discrete data figure, this figure meets the para-curve Changing Pattern in one-period.Interpretation interval in data processing is used in each is interval: Y (x)=a

iBe through the exact position of the extreme point on continuous function of over-fitting, can be accurate to 1/5~1/10 pixel, final radius-of-curvature can be obtained by the average of M permutation and combination after any two the ring radius calculation in N in the visual field the ring:
Fringe order i, j=1,2,3, Λ N i ≠ j;
Because radius-of-curvature is the average of a plurality of R, aforementioned calculation can also reduce because the measuring error of the radius-of-curvature that local deformation is introduced.
The error analysis of system
The main source of error of this method of testing and final relative accuracy Δ R/R can carry out differential to (2) formula and (annotate: r

Because the error of wavelength is a second order a small amount of, ignores, and then can derive:
Can find out that from (11) formula the parameter relevant with relative error has: the degree of accuracy Δ l of displacement l; With dark line radius r and the relevant parameter P of displacement l

As seen from Table 1, plane mirror is fixed and the radius-of-curvature value of its measurement of system that sample scanning is moved is all bigger than normal, this is because the influence of single order Abbe error, promptly moves the nonlinearity of guiding systems and causes the direction of guide rail moving direction and tested standard flat inconsistent, and a tiny inclination angle is arranged.Then the value of l is always greater than the OO ' of reality, make the measurement result of radius-of-curvature also bigger than normal, and scanning system is when scanning, the amount of movement of pentaprism is consistent with being projected on the tested surface, and this is that the moving direction of length measurement system is consistent with pentaprism incident ray direction by the character decision of pentaprism, eliminated Abbe error, the value of measuring of relative theory as a result varies, and meets the regularity of distribution of error in the metering, with accord with theoretical analysis.
This system combines with the around-France and modern CCD interference fringe of noncontact newton analytical method measurement technology, has higher relative accuracy, it is big to survey range of curvature radius, not limited by the concave, convex face, the apparatus structure compactness, especially do not need with radius isometric move guiding systems and dark room conditions, the not harsh sampled data of utilizing repeatedly of environmental requirement is handled, reduction system random noise, the automaticity height.Be specially adapted to the especially measurement of high precision laser resonator cavity of all kinds of larger radius of curvature.
