Abstract: We describe a two-beam shearing interferometric technique for testing refractive conical lenses. The optical configuration requires two mutually coherent plane wave fronts transmitted through the conical lens under test. The method can also be considered as an interferometric fringe projection technique in which a fringe pattern produced by the two interfering wave fronts is projected through the optical elements. We describe the principle of the method and present application of the technique for determining the angle formed by the flat surface and the conical surface of a refractive conical lens.
