  • Abstract:
    A novel method for accurate long focal-length measurements, based on stripe matching, is proposed. This method consists of a laser source, two gratings and a detector. A divergent beam illuminating two parallel gratings produces moiré fringes on the second grating. Then, added a test lens in front of the first grating, a new moiré fringes is produced. The two moiré fringes are matched by moving the second grating and the corresponding focal-length can be easily obtained by the measurement of the distance between gratings. Experiment demonstrates the proposed method features high accuracy of 0.18% and stability of 0.0004%. Besides, this method tremendously reduces testing time.
