Abstract:

The goals of this project for the first year first four quarters have been achieved. These include 1 Prototype design, 2 Procurement and testing of components, 3 Mathematics and algorithm development, 4 Interferogram data reduction algorithms, 5 Construction of first prototype, and 6 Automated operation software development. The fifth quarter and sixth quarter goals are 1 construction and evaluation of a modified prototype, 2 Integration of automated hardware controls and software, and 3 Testing of the full surface interferometer on aspheric optical surfaces.
