Broadband Variable Transmission Sphere for Fizeau Interferometry

Transmission spheres used in interferometry are specified by f-number and source wavelength. In this paper, we explore a broadband variable transmission sphere (BVTS) system based on freeform Alvarez lenses that enables variable operation across a broad range of f-numbers and wavelengths. Potential...
