Abstract

A method for measuring an anamorphic lens includes a first step of converging a light beam emitted by a light source towards a reference standard and adjusting the reference standard along the travel direction of the light beam so that the light beam reflected by the reference standard forms a point spread function image or a line spread function image on a focal plane. A second step of replacing the reference standard with an anamorphic lends to be measured and adjusting the same so that the light beam reflected by the anamorphic lens forms a line spread function image on the focal plane, and a third step of measuring the anamorphic by comparing the first step with the second step are provided.
