Abstract
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 applications and performance tradeoffs are discussed in comparison to conventional spherical transmission spheres. Simulation results are presented for f/15 to f/80 configurations from visible to long-wave infrared sources in a Fizeau interferometer. Simulation results highlight that spherical, coma, and astigmatism impose limits on surface measurement quality.
