23、s). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and n
24、on-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Pa
25、rt 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies castin

ISO 14880 consists of the following parts, under the general title Optics and photonics Microlens arrays: Part 1: Vocabulary Part 2: Test methods for wavefront aberrations Part 3: Test methods for optical properties other than wavefront aberrations Part 4: Test met
28、hods for geometrical properties EN ISO 14880-3:2006vIntroduction This part of 14880 specifies methods of testing optical properties, other than wavefront aberrations, of microlens arrays. Examples of applications for microlens arrays include three-dimensional displays, coupling optics associated wit
29、h arrayed light sources and photo-detectors, enhanced optics for liquid crystal displays, and optical parallel processor elements. The testing of microlenses is in principle similar to testing any other lens. The same parameters need to be measured and the same techniques used. However, in many case
30、s the measurement of very small lenses presents practical problems which make it difficult to use the standard equipment that is available for testing normal size lenses. The market in microlens arrays has generated a need for agreement on basic terminology and test methods. Standard terminology and
31、 clear definitions are needed not only to promote applications but also to encourage scientists and engineers to exchange ideas and new concepts based on common understanding. This part of 14880 contributes to the purpose of the series of ISO 14880 standards which is to improve the compatibility and
32、 interchangeability of lens arrays from different suppliers and to enhance development of the technology using microlens arrays. The measurement of focal length is described in the body of this part of ISO 14880 and the use of an alternative technique, interferometry, is described in Annex A. Measur
33、ement of the focal length of an array of microlenses, using a confocal technique, is described in Annex B. Coupling efficiency and imaging quality are discussed in Annex C. Measurement of the focal spot positions of an array of microlenses in parallel, using the Shack-Hartmann technique, is describe
34、d in Annex D. EN ISO 14880-3:2006blank1Optics and photonics Microlens arrays Part 3: Test methods for optical properties other than wavefront aberrations 1 Scope This part of ISO 14880 specifies methods for testing optical properties, other than wavefront aberrations, of microlenses in microlens arr

It is applicable to microlens arrays with very small lenses formed on one or more surfaces of a common substrate and to graded index microlenses. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

37、 5: Surface form tolerances 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 14880-1 apply. 4 Substrate test The optical quality of the substrate contributes to the quality of the focal positions defined by the microlenses and shall be quantified in a
38、ccordance with ISO 10110-5. 5 Microscope test method 5.1 Principle The basic principle is to locate, by optical means, the surface of the microlens under test. The effective back (front) focal length is determined by measuring the axial displacement necessary to locate the focal position. EN ISO 148
39、80-3:20062 5.2 Measurement arrangement and test equipment 5.2.1 General The testing of microlenses is similar in principle to testing larger lenses. In many cases however, the measurement of very small lenses presents practical problems which make it difficult to use standard equipment. In general,
40、two optical techniques can be used. One is based on microscopy, the other is based on interferometry. The first technique uses a microscope to locate, by focusing, the vertex of the microlens. The effective back (front) focal length is deduced from a measurement of the displacement necessary to refo
41、cus the microscope on the image of a distant source as shown in Figure 1. A focusing aid in the microscope such as a split-field focusing graticule enables the featureless vertex of a microlens to be more readily located when viewing with reflected light. For focal length measurements the distant po
42、int source may be the emitting tip of an optical fibre or an illuminated test graticule. Tests may be performed with white light or monochromatic illumination. The second technique uses wavefront sensing to locate the test surface or the centre of curvature. The location test may be carried out with
43、 the help of one of the following devices: Fizeau interferometer, Twyman-Green interferometer, lateral shearing interferometer, or Shack-Hartmann device. These are more fully described in ISO 14880-2 and ISO/TR 14999-1. One advantage of interferometry is that for strongly aberrated lenses, the varia
44、tion in focal length with aperture radius can be readily deduced from the interference patterns. A disadvantage is that tests are restricted to the wavelength of the interferometer light source.

46、 5 to 9 concentrate on the microscope technique while an interferometric technique is described in Annex A and a Shack-Hartmann technique in Annex D. The confocal measurement of the effective focal lengths of lens arrays is described in Annex B. 5.2.2 Test system 5.2.2.1 General The test system cons
47、ists of a microscope fitted with displacement transducers, suitable light source, test object, microscope video camera, monitor and image analyser (line intensity scan). 5.2.2.2 Microscope A microscope fitted with a focusing aid such as a split-image rangefinder is required to enable focus settings
48、to be made on a featureless surface such as the vertex of the microlens surface. The mechanical design shall allow the distant point source or test graticule to be placed below the stage carrying the test lens. Ideally, the test lens should be supported with no additional optical component such as a
49、 glass plate between it and the distant point source or test graticule. The displacement of the test surface relative to the microscope objective is measured with a calibrated displacement transducer. The numerical aperture (NA) of the microscope objective shall be larger than the numerical aperture of the test lens at the focal point. 5.2.2.3 Light source A light source emitting radiation in the band of wavelengths or at a specific wavelength required for the test shall be used. The properties of the light source shall be d
