Abstract

Subaperture stitching interferometry (SAS) is an important method for map testing of large aperture optical components, in which a mechanical structure is often employed for the testing of each subaperture. By eliminating the phase deviation of the corresponding points in the overlapping regions of every adjacent subaperture, the whole aperture map can be obtained. Accurate subaperture positioning is an important guarantee for precise stitching. In this paper, a hybrid optimization algorithm is proposed to realize subpixel-level positioning accuracy in SAS based on the combination of the phase correlation and iterative gradient methods. The phase correlation method is adopted to calculate the pixel-level positioning deviation first, and the subpixel deviation is derived and then corrected by iterative optimization through the gradient method. The subpixel-level positioning accuracy of the proposed optimization algorithm is verified by simulations and a 76.2 mm off-axis parabolic mirror is chosen as an experimental testing sample. The surface map obtained from the proposed hybrid optimization method is consistent with the full aperture testing result, which also verifies that the proposed optimization algorithm is a powerful tool with subpixel-level positioning accuracy in SAS testing.
