Abstract
We have implemented an exact ray trace through a plano-freeform surface for an incident plane wavefront. We obtain two caustic surfaces and provide the critical points related to the ray tracing process. Additionally, we study the propagation of the refracted wavefronts through the plane-curved surface. Finally, by using the Ronchi-Hartmann type null screen and placing the detection plane within the caustic region, we have evaluated the shape of a plano-freeform optical surface under test, obtaining an RMS difference in sagitta value of 6.3 μm.
