DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for measuring the focal length (or refractive power) of a lens using moiré fringes.
A feature of the present invention is that the focal length of a lens to be tested can be easily, quickly, and accurately measured using a simple device. The focal length of a lens is the distance from the principal point to the focal point.The focal point can be easily found as the convergence point of parallel rays, but the principal point is difficult to find directly. Conventional lens focal length measurement methods include the nodal slide method, the Bessel method, and the magnification method, but these methods require the length of the measuring device to be at least longer than the focal length of the lens being tested. There is a drawback.

In the present invention, when a light wave transmitted through a test lens is further transmitted through a pair of grating plates placed immediately after the same pitch and whose grating lines are slightly different in direction, the inclination angle of the moiré fringes formed is This method focuses on the dependence on the focal length of the lens to be tested. In other words, the first light wave transmitted through the test lens
The focal length of the lens is determined from the Fourier image of the resulting grating and the inclination angle of the moiré fringes observed by the second grating placed on the image plane. .

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of the focal length measurement method according to the present invention. It is assumed that the optical axis of the lens 1 to be tested is Z, the first grating is 2, and the second grating is 3. When a parallel plane wave of wavelength λ is incident on the test lens 1 and the transmitted light wave is irradiated onto the first grating 2 of pitch p, from this grating approximately Z o = 2np 2 /λ and np 2 /λ (n is positive A Fourier image and a negative Fourier image having the same periodic structure as the first grating 2 are created at the positions (an integer of ). When the second grating 3 is placed on this Fourier image plane at a slight angle of θ relative to the grating lines of the first grating 2, the Fourier image of the first grating 2 and the second grating 3 are This produces tilted moiré fringes, and the focal length of the lens can be immediately determined from this tilt angle α. The relationship between the tilt angle α of this moire fringe and the focal length f of the lens is f=Z o (tanα sinθ+cosθ)/tanα sinθ+cos
It is given by θ−1. Also, when expressed in terms of refractive power D, D=1/f=1/Z o (1-1/tanα sinθ+cosθ
) can be written as Therefore, by measuring the inclination angle α of the moiré fringes, the focal length f or refractive power D of the lens can be immediately determined from the above equation.

As described above, if the interval Z o between the two grating plates and the slight relative angle θ between the grating lines are fixed, then by measuring the inclination angle α of the moiré fringes, the focus of the lens can be determined directly from the above equation. The distance f or the refractive power D is determined.

The features of the present invention are as follows: 1. Since the main part consists of 2 grid plates arranged at appropriate intervals, the length of the measuring device can be shortened. It is particularly effective for measuring long focal length lenses. For example, when using a light wave with grating pitch p = 0.2 mm and wavelength λ = 500 nm, Z o = 1 = 80 mm.
That's about it.
