Abstract

Large aperture off-axis Fresnel lens will play an important role in the future 10 m scale aperture transmission space telescope system. Improving diffraction efficiency and wavefront image quality is always the goal of engineering applications. A 4-level off-axis fresnel lens with Ф350 mm effective aperture was fabricated through overlay etching technique by laser direct writing system. The wavefront aberration characteristics of the off-axis Fresnel lens at 632.8 nm wavelength are analyzed and discussed in detail, and the large aperture off-axis Fresnel lenses wavefront aberration measurement scheme, including a high-precision plane reflector, measured LAOFL, CGH, interferometer and laser tracker to compensate for certain low-order aberrations caused by LAOFL imperfect imaging, is proposed. Wavefront aberration of 0.020 λ(1/50 λ) RMS was achieved. This work presented the best results to our knowledge among the same field with similar aperture in open publications and provided a strong foundation for the future 10 m scale aperture transmission space telescope system.
