Power Testing of Aspheric Lenses Based on Transmission Phase Deflectometric Method

Traditional methods for testing aspheric optical lenses struggle to achieve point-by-point testing across the full aperture of the lens. To facilitate the full-aperture, high-precision, and rapid testing of aspheric optical lenses, a power testing method of lenses based on the transmission phase deflectometric technique was employed. This method determines the phase deviation of light caused by the lens, thereby fitting the transmission wavefront and quickly detecting the power distribution information of the lens. This paper constructs a power testing model based on the phase deflectometric technique, proposes a calibration method that combines DLT (direct linear transformation) and pinhole models to reduce system errors, and combines phase extraction and wavefront fitting for experimental verification. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from the commercial visual lens mapper (VM-2000). The central errors of spherical power and cylindrical power are 1% and 0.7%, respectively. This provides a reliable method for the full-aperture, high-precision, and rapid testing of aspheric optical lenses.
