Abstract

Recent and continuing developments in laser positional measurement interferometers and computer control make it possible to rule high quality,linear diffraction gratings of variable spacing. One application of such gratings is for testing cylindrical optics. A natural progression from this was the construction an interferometrically controlled rotary ruling engine for the production of precision circular, reflection gratings which may be used for testing optics that have axial symmetry. The construction and operation of this engine will be described, along with earlier practical results with cylindrical and prototype circular gratings.
