Title: Chromatic-aberration diagnostic based on a spectrally resolved lateral-shearing interferometer

Journal Article · · Applied Optics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.55.002413· OSTI ID:1242972

Here, a simple diagnostic characterizing one-dimensional chromatic aberrations in a broadband beam is introduced. A Ronchi grating placed in front of a spectrometer entrance slit provides spectrally coupled spatial phase information. The radial-group delay of a refractive system and the pulse-front delay of a wedged glass plate have been characterized accurately in a demonstration experiment.
