    Background:

    • Point-diffraction interferometer (PDI) accuracy relies on precise wavefront error measurement.
    • High numerical aperture (NA) and submicron-aperture fibers present measurement challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a high-precision method for measuring submicron-aperture fiber point-diffraction wavefronts with high NA.
    • To develop a calibration technique for geometric aberrations without prior system knowledge.

    Main Methods:

    • Shearing interferometry for wavefront measurement.
    • A double-step calibration method using 3D coordinate reconstruction and symmetric lateral displacement compensation.
    • Differential Zernike polynomials fitting for wavefront reconstruction.
