Scientific paper

Reference is made to the problems caused by local turbulence and nonuniformity in the layers of air in large test tunnels. In the case described here, the final tests are carried out in a vertical tunnel using a laser interferometer with a compensating medium. A special sequence of interferograms is employed to suppress the thermal, accidental, and environmental influences, and the wave front errors are evaluated accordingly. The results demonstrate that the standard deviation due to the mirror is 24 nm out of a total standard deviation of 49 nm taken as an average of 24 interferograms.
