AbstractWe discuss the inspection of large-sized, spherical mirror tiles by ‘Phase Measuring Deflectometry’ (PMD). About 10 000 of such mirror tiles, each satisfying strict requirements regarding the spatial extent of the point-spread-function (PSF), are planned to be installed on the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), a future ground-based instrument to observe the sky in very high energy gamma-rays. Owing to their large radii of curvature of up to 60 m, a direct PSF measurement of these mirrors with concentric geometry requires large space. We present a PMD sensor with a footprint of only 5×2×1.2 m

The control of the shape of the optical part surface by the interference method has become an integral part of the process of their shaping. With a precisely focused interferometer interferometry allows obtaining an interference pattern similar to a topographic map of the error profile of the wave surface under investigation. The interferometer must form a map of the optical surface with high accuracy --- the permissible distortion of the interference fringe caused by an interferometer error should not exceed 0.1 of the distortion value caused by an error on the examined surface. The dependence of the interference pattern formation on the errors in the arrangement of the interferometer components, i.e., defocusing, was theoretically analyzed using Fourier transforms. The analysis was performed for an interferometer containing a laser illuminator, a concave spherical mirror with a central hole, coaxial to the illuminator, and a beamsplitting element in the form of a cube-prism with a semitransparent hypotenuse face. On the first flat face of the cube-prism, a microspherical concave mirror is made with the center located on the optical axis of the interferometer. A method for calculating the defocusing of a controlled spherical mirror and the corresponding wave aberration of the working wavefront is presented. An example of calculating the design parameters of the interferometer and the permissible defocusing of the controlled spherical mirror is given

Abstract. In this paper we describe a new and fully automatic method for segmenting and classifying digits in seven-segment displays. The method is applied to a dataset consisting of about 7 million auroral all-sky images taken during the time period of 1973–1997 at camera stations centred around Sodankylä observatory in northern Finland. In each image there is a clock display for the date and time together with the reflection of the whole night sky through a spherical mirror. The digitised film images of the night sky contain valuable scientific information but are impractical to use without an automatic method for extracting the date–time from the display. We describe the implementation and the results of such a method in detail in this paper.
