Abstract
Abstract It is shown that a multiple beam wedge plate interferometer can be used in transmission mode to display accurately the lateral aberration curve of a collimating lens. Experimental results showing the sharpened fringes and a comparison with the computed lateral aberration curves are given. Further, for larger shear, some new features are observed; these are explained by considering contributions of higher order terms in the Taylor's series expansion of the path function.
