Abstract

With the development of optical systems used in astronomical and earth observation, aspherical and free-form surfaces are increasingly used because they are lightweight and have improved image quality. As a highly accurate, aberrationless technique, computer-generated hologram (CGH) plays an important role in wavefront testing. At present, the main way to fabricate phase CGH is reactive ion etching, which suffers from low accuracy. To improve the accuracy, physical vapor deposition (PVD) is applied in the fabrication of phase CGH. The wavefront errors of PVD-fabricated phase CGH were analyzed. Testing results indicate that the wavefront error of the CGH is 0.020λ root mean square (RMS), mainly caused by the machine tool orthogonality error rather than the PVD process. The diffraction efficiency of the +1st order is 22.4%.
