Calibration of Null Lens
• Use CGH to calibrate
null lens
• CGH reflects wavefront
as if from primary mirror
• Excellent accuracy,
limited by
– Substrate flatness
– Pattern errors
Null Lens
Primary Mirror (asphere)
CGH
Why Use CGH?
• CGH can be made more accurately than the null lens
• But CGH cannot test mirror itself
– Must control ray angles and phase
• Perform cascading test
– Use CGH to calibrate null lens
– Use null lens to measure aspheric mirror

Accuracy of CGH
• Null lens corrects for aspheric departure, leaving
10 – 20 nm rms
• CGH can measure null lens to oaccuracy of 3 – 6
nm rms
• CGHs have been used as the “gold standard” for
numerous big mirrors at UA
– 8.4-m LBT primary mirrors, f/1.1
– Four 6.5-m mirrors, f/1.25
– Three 3.5-m mirrors f/1.5-f/1.75
– MRO 2.4-m primary f/2.4
And dozens of smaller mirrors for UA and for industry

Roadmap to <1 nm rms calibration
Separate forms of error, measure each one
– Substrate errors
• Measure flatness errors directly
– Pattern distortion errors
• Use multiple holograms on the same substrate. One
hologram is used for null lens calibration. The other
is used to calibrate the line pattern irregularity
– Non-axisymmetric errors
• Measure these using rotation
Calibration of CGH
Non-axisymmetric Errors
• Calibrate by rotating CGH
• Rotate CGH to N azimuthal positions
– i.e., Nθ = 3600
– This removes all errors except of the form
kNθ, where k = 1, 2, 3...
(Evans and Kestner, App. Opt. 1996)
• The residual error is axisymmetric error

•Coma is a 1 θ error

to 1800
•Astigmatism is a 2θ error
•Rotating coma by 1800 and
averaging removes error
•Rotating astigmatism
similarly doesn’t do any thing

CGH-writer Errors
•Spoke-like pattern comes from
wobble of writer table
•Radial phase error comes from
errors in radial coordinate
εnonaxisym(r) = constant
εaxisym(θ) = constant

Calibration of CGH
Axisymmetric Errors
Pattern Distortion
• Simultaneously write two CGH patterns
– Asphere, used for null lens calibration
– Sphere, can be measured directly to high accuracy
• Writer errors will affect both patterns
• Measure the sphere, from this determine CGH error and
make correction
Substrate Error
• Make zero-order (undiffracted) wavefront measurement
• Non-axisymmetric component removed by rotations
Methods of Encoding CGHs
• Separate quadrants of CGH into spherical and aspherical parts
