This Standard specifies methods for the measurement of the topography of the wavefront of a laser beam by measurement and interpretation of the spatial distribution of the phase of that wavefront across a plane approximately perpendicular to its direction of propagation. Requirements are given for measurement and analysis of phase distribution data to provide quantitative wavefront parameters and their uncertainty in a test report.
