An optical flat is an optical-grade piece of glass lapped and polished to be extremely flat on one or both sides, usually within a few tens of nanometres (billionths of a metre). They are used with a monochromatic light to determine the flatness (surface accuracy) of other surfaces, whether optical, metallic, ceramic, or otherwise, by interference. When an optical flat is placed on another surface and illuminated, the light waves reflect off both the bottom surface of the flat and the surface it is resting on. This causes a phenomenon similar to thin-film interference. The reflected waves interfere, creating a pattern of interference fringes visible as light and dark bands. The spacing between the fringes is smaller where the gap is changing more rapidly, indicating a departure from flatne

  • Das Planglas (bzw. Plan-Probeglas oder planparalleles Prüfglas) ist ein manuelles Prüfmittel zur Prüfung geringer Ebenheitsabweichungen geläppter oder polierter Flächen, das auf der Interferenz von Licht beruht. Das Planglas besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem runden, hochgenau geschliffenen Glas, das bei einigen Ausführungen ein Rahmen aus Kunststoff oder Metall umfasst um es vor Fingerabdrücken zu schützen. Plane und sphärisch gekrümmte Probegläser sind spezifiziert in DIN 58161 Teil 1 bzw. Teil 2. (de)
