Le test d'Hartmann [...] permet de mesurer les déviations de la surface d'un miroir par rapport à une surface théorique. Le test fait en laboratoire s'effectue au centre de courbure du miroir. La méthode consiste à placer une source lumineuse sous le centre de courbure et à fragmenter son front d'onde avec un écran perforé placé juste au-dessus du miroir. On peut alors recueillir sur une plaque photographique, située au-dessus du centre de courbure, la réflexion des petits segments du front d'onde. L'emplacement de ces images, par rapport à ce qu'il devrait être si la surface du miroir était paraboloïdale, nous permet de reconstruire le front d'onde, soit la forme du miroir. 1, record 2, French, - test%20d%27Hartmann
