International Standard ISO 10110 applies to the presentation of design and functional requirements for optical elements and assemblies in technical drawings used for manufacturing and inspection.
This part of ISO 10110 provides rules for the indication of the allowable deformation of a wavefront transmitted through or, in the case of reflective optics, reflected from an optical element or assembly.
The deformation of the wavefront refers to its departure from the desired shape ("Nominal theoretical wavefront"). The tilt of the wavefront with respect to a given reference surface is excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 10110.
There is no requirement that a tolerance for wavefront deformation be indicated. If such a tolerance is specified, it does not take precedence over a tolerance for the surface deformation according to fSO 10110-5. If tolerances for both the surface deformation and the wavefront deformation are given, they must both be upheld.
NOTE In this part of ISO 10110, the term "wavefront" used alone stands for either "transmitted wavefront" or "reflected wavefront", according to the type of system to be specified.
