We review recent research related to shearing interferometry, reported over the last two decades. Shearing interferometry is categorized as azimuthal, radial, or lateral shearing interferometers by its fundamental principle to generate interference. In this review the research trends for each technique are provided, with a summary of experimental results containing theoretical background, the optical configuration, analysis, and perspective on its application fields.

The lateral-shearing interferometer specially devised for production line inspection lenses is presented. The interferometer is composed with immersion oil and four prisms whose relative sliding motion provide lateral-shearing and phase-shifting. A special phase-measuring algorithm of a-bucket is adopted to compensate the phase-shifting error caused by the thickness reduction in the immersion oil Three different algorithm for determinating quantitative aberration of aspherical lenses are presented and compared with one another.

The volumetric interferometer, which uses the interference of wavefronts emitted from two single mode fibers, measures the target position in 3-D. In this paper, we suggest a new calculation method which doesn't need a non-linear optimization and an initial guess. We find the relationship between the coefficients of the Zernike polynomials for a spherical wavefront and its center and reconstruct a spherical wavefront by using the Zernike polynomials from two interference fringes like a lateral shearing interferometer. The target position can be obtained from the coefficients of the Zernike polynomials of the reconstructed wavefront. We can get the target position in 3-D with $sub-{\mu}m$ errors in a simulation.

비구면 광학부품의 수차 측정 및 성능 평가를 위해 특별 설계된 층밀리기 간섭계를 소개하고, 이와 더불어 층밀리기 간섭계가 갖는 자체의 계통오차를 측정결과로부터 제거하기 위한 보정 방법을 제안한다. 층밀리기 간섭계의 계통오차는 크게 간섭광학계가 갖는 광학오차와 간섭계의 기구부의 불완전에 기인한 층밀리기 방향의 직교오차로 구분할 수 있다. 이들 두 계통 오차들은 모두 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법으로 모두 보정될 수 있다. 보정 방법은 측정 대상물을 간섭계의 광축을 중심으로 회전하여 측정결과로부터 계통오차를 분리하는 자가보정 원리에 근거한다.

Two axes lateral-shearing interferometer(LSI) specially devised for production line inspection lenses is presented. The interferometer composed with four prisms and a dove prism can test the lens performance including asymmetric aspheric lens. The dove prism which rotates the input image with respect to optical axis makes it possible. The wavefront passing through the test lens is reconstsucted by the phase derivative obtained form the two axes LSI system. Zernike-polynomials fitting of this wavefront is presented for determinating quantitative aberration of aspherical lenses.

We propose a new variant of lateral shearing interferometer with a tunable laser source that enables 3D surface profile measurements of freeform optics with high speed, high vertical resolution, large departure, and large field-of-view. We have verified the proposed technique by comparing our measurement result with that of an existing technique and measuring a representative sample of freeform optics. Moreover, we propose a new algorithm that is able to compensate the rotational inaccuracy.

There has been studied flow to minimize the spot size to increase data capacity. Optical data storage devices are being developed near practical limits with wavelength and NA of 405nm and 0.85. There has been studied many types of next generation storage devices such as blu-ray multilayer system, probe based data storage and holographic data storage. Among these data storage devices, solid immersion lens(SIL) based near field recording (NFR) has been widely studied. In this system, SIL is the key component that focuses the laser beam with a very small size which enables ultra high data capacity. Therefore, optical performance evaluation system is required for SIL assembly. In this dissertation, a simple and accurate SIL assembly measurement method is proposed with wedge plate lateral shearing interferometer(LSI). Wedge plate LSI is cheaper than commercialized interferometer, robust to the vibration and the moving distance for phase shifting is large that is order of micrometer. We designed the thickness, wedge angle, material, surface quality and wavelength of wedge plate as 1mm, 0.02degree, fused silica, lamda/10(10-5) and 405nm, respectively. Also, we confirmed simulation and experimental results with quantitative analysis. This simple wedge plate LSI can be applied to different types of SIL such as solid immersion mirror(SIM), hemispherical, super-hemispherical and elliptical SIL.

광 pick-up용 비구면 대물 렌즈는 컴퓨터와 멀티미디어 기기 등의 발달로 수요가 급증하고 있으며 사출성형에 의하여 대량 생산되고 있다. 광 pick-up용 비구면 대물 렌즈의 생산성 향상을 위해서는 생산공정중의 전수검사를 요구하며 이는 측정환경에 강인한 측정기를 필요로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생산공정중에 광 pick-up용 비구면 대물 렌즈를 측정할 수 있는 개선된 층밀리기 간섭계를 제안하고자 한다. 본 층밀리기 간섭계는 3개의 직각 프리즘과 1개의 광분할 코팅된 프리즘으로 구성되며 index matching oil에 의하여 상대이동이 가능하도록 조합되어 있다. 간섭무늬를 정확히 분석하기 위한 위상천이와 층밀림량의 조절은 프리즘 간의 상대 이동에 의하여 가능하며 이를 위한 구동 기구부를 제작하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 반복연산에 의한 일반 알고리즘을 도입하여 위상천이 시에 발생하는 index matching oil의 유막 두께변화에 의한 기준위상 오차를 보상하였다. 광 pick-up용 비구면 대물 렌즈의 수차량을 정량적으로 산출하기 위하여 Zernike 다항식 맞춤을 수행하였다. 본 간섭계는 측정환경에 매우 강인하며 방진과 밀폐가 없는 열악한 측정환경하에서 반복측정을 수행하였을 때 .lambda./100 이하의 반복능을 얻었다.
