Scientific paper

An account is given of a method for determining the surface quality of a diamond-turned reflective optical element, in which the far-field diffraction pattern of a fast diamond-turned two-mirror collimator, as an illustrative example, is observed for coherent radiation at 0.6328 microns, as well as partially coherent radiation at 0.6328 microns, and coherent radiation at 1.0624 microns. A relationship is noted between the degree of coherence of laser light and collimator surface quality. It appears that the manufacturing of surfaces of this type introduces a low spatial frequency, not unlike a gentle 'ripple' on a drum head.
