A method to measure the power of a lens.

摘要

The power lens is measured by sampling a collimated beam (12) of light with an opto-electronic transducer to produce an output signal representing the intensity of the light across the width of the beam, converting the transducer output signal to digital form and loading the resulting digital signal into a computer memory, inserting a lens (16) into the path of the beam, repeating the sampling and signal conversion steps with the lens thus inserted for at least one separation distance between the lens and the transducer, and calculating the power of the lens from the digital signals stored in the computer memory.
