分辨率测试靶通常用来测量成像系统的分辨率。它们包含确定线宽和间距的参考线图样,可放在与成像物体相同的平面。通过识别最大不可分辨线集确定给定系统的分辨能力。Thorlabs提供带1951 USAF、NBS 1952和NBS 1963A图案的分辨率测试靶,以及带扇形星(也叫西门子星)图案的测试靶、朗奇刻线测试靶、可变线栅测试靶或用于测试分辨率和畸变的组合图案测试靶。关于每种图案的更多信息,请见分辨率测试靶标签。
我们所有的分辨率测试靶都提供正测试靶可选,很多类型还有负测试靶版本。我们还提供一些具有高对比度的反射式正测试靶。正测试靶在透明基底上通过真空溅射镀上低反射率铬图案,用于前方照明和一般应用。负测试靶也是在基底上镀低反射率铬膜,留出透明的图案,适用于背光照明和高亮度照明应用。反射式正测试靶具有刻在钠钙玻璃上的低反射率铬图案,带有未镀膜的铬背景,用于反射应用中的高对比度。有关这些测试靶所使用材料的光谱数据,请查看曲线图标签。每种图案都使用光刻制造,边缘特征分辨率可达约1 µm。
安装
这些分辨率测试靶使用我们四种载玻片支架中的一种安装。我们的MAX3SLH固定式载玻片支架使用两个弹簧片固定光学元件,可以安装在我们任意的3轴位移台上。MAX3SLH仅兼容宽度大于或等于2英寸的测试靶,提供1英寸通光孔径,有可能遮住某些测试靶上的铬图案。Thorlabs也提供XYF1(/M)测试靶安装座(请看右图),可以将宽度为1英寸到3英寸的矩形靶在50 mm x 30 mm的区域内移动。该安装座有五个8-32(M4)螺孔,可在六个方向上安装接杆。XYF1使用尼龙顶丝固定光学元件。请注意,安装座的支撑臂与光学元件两端都有4.4 mm重叠。对于高速电动XY扫描位移台用户,我们提供用于倒置显微镜的MLS203P2载玻片支架,可以安装25 mm至26.5 mm宽的载波片和30 mm到60 mm直径的培养皿。
光刻测试靶生产
我们的大批量生产能力可以给成像系统校正和测量提供解决方案。我们使用接触式光刻技术和掩模对准器在玻璃基底上定义图样。图案定好后,我们在100级洁净室中以化学法刻蚀基底并清洁。
双折射测试靶生产
R3L1S1B和R2L2S1B双折射分辨率测试靶上的图案必须通过一对正交偏振片才能看到,非常适合偏振敏感系统的校准。使用光取向技术设定液晶聚合物层的快轴,通过两块N-BK7玻璃保护。通过工程加工使测试靶整体的快轴平行于玻璃边,而图案区域的快轴与这个边缘成45°。整个测试靶的延迟量为280 ± 20 nm。此外,通过改变正交偏振片的方向,测试靶可以呈现正负图案。如果正交偏振片与玻璃边对准,则呈现正图案。如果正交偏振片与玻璃边成45°,则呈现负图案。
Thorlabs还提供一系列分划板,用于在成像物体上叠加一个参考图样。

图2.1 线对帮助确定相机区分两个物体的能力。
成像分辨率
成像系统分辨率通常以每毫米的线对(lp/mm)表示,其中线对为一条亮线和一条暗线。这个数值表示系统所能区分的两个物体之间的最小距离;lp/mm值越高,线对之间的距离越小。
图2.1描绘系统的分辨率极限。通过左边相机成像的线对无法分辨;这两条线通过相机传感器上的相邻像素记录,因此看起来像单个物体。相反地,右边的线对间距更大,因此系统可以分辨。

图2.2 线集示例
分辨率靶有一系列水平和垂直线,用于确定成像系统分辨率。一组内有六个元素(水平和垂直线对),十组构成分辨率图案。图2.2展示分辨率靶上-2组的2和3元素。
这些测试靶以三条线为一个集合,提高识别伪分辨率的能力。当线集太模糊使重叠部分看似形成了倒立的更清晰的线,伪分辨率就会发生。这可能误读光学系统分辨率,因为线看似能够分辨。伪分辨率也会使线集中看似少一条线。由于三条线和两条线的差异相比五条线和四条线的差异更容易被发现,因此测试靶以三条线为一个集合更容易识别伪分辨率。
每个元素中的线距等于线宽。当测试靶成像后,通过观察水平和垂直线的清晰度确定成像系统分辨率。最大的不可分辨的水平线和垂直线确定成像系统的分辨能力。表2.4列出根据下式计算的每组中每个元素的lp/mm数值。我们分辨率测试靶的最大分辨率为228.0 lp/mm,大约4.4 µm/lp。3英寸x3英寸靶从-2到+7共10组;3英寸x1英寸轮式图案具有9个测试靶,每个靶都有从+2至+7组;3英寸x1英寸双折射靶从0至+5共6组;18 mm x 18 mm (0.71英寸x0.71英寸)组合测试靶从+2到+7共六组;Ø1英寸靶从+2到+7共六组。

图2.5 R3L3S6P NBS 1952测试靶特写
NBS 1952测试靶
- 可单通扫描
- 以三线一个集合减少伪分辨率
- 提供正靶
- 1英寸x3英寸和3英寸x3英寸
NBS 1952测试靶以三条垂直线或三条水平线为一个集合。每条线及它与相邻线的间距可看作一个线对或一个周期。每个测试靶能够测试的分辨率以lp/mm的频率给出。表2.6给出了我们两个NBS 1952测试靶可用的每个频率以及对应的线宽。
这些测试靶主要优点有二:使伪分辨率降至最少,可以单通扫描。当线集太模糊使重叠部分看似形成了倒立的更清晰的线,伪分辨率就会发生。这可能误读光学系统分辨率,因为线看似能够分辨。伪分辨率也会使线集中看似少一条线。由于三条线和两条线的差异相比五条线和四条线的差异更容易被发现,因此测试靶以三条线为一个集合更容易识别伪分辨率。
通过排布这些测试靶的线集可能获得单通扫描优势。水平和垂直线集以相同样式、相同频率排列,使测试靶沿从左上到右下的一条对角线对称。如果从左到右或从上到下扫描测试靶,到达中心前线频率一直增大,然后从另一边下降。无论是水平还是垂直扫描,单次通过整个图案将覆盖测试靶上的每个频率。因此只要以单向运动就能确定光学系统的分辨率。

NBS 1963A测试靶
- 提供正靶、负靶和双折射靶
- 高频选项
- 2英寸x2英寸专用测试靶,1英寸x3英寸组合靶
NBS 1963A靶以五条垂直线或五条水平线为一个集合。每条线及它与相邻线的间距可看作一个线对或一个周期。每个测试靶能够测试的分辨率以cycles/mm的频率给出。在Thorlabs的NBS 1963A测试靶上,每个线集都标有频率。确定可分辨的最小线(最高的cycles/mm数值)就可确定成像系统分辨率。
我们的标准NBS 1963A测试靶提供26个线集,分辨率从1.0 cycles/mm到18.0 cycles/mm。对于更严格的分辨率测试,我们的高频NBS 1963A测试靶具有48个线集,频率从1.0 cycles/mm到228 cycles/mm,而我们的R1L3S5P分辨率和畸变组合靶具有35个线集,频率从4.5 cycles/mm到228 cycles/mm。周期是频率的倒数,表2.8中给出了所有频率及其相应的周期。至于单独的线宽,周期除以2即可。

扇形星测试靶
扇形星靶也称西门子星靶,由许多扇形暗条组成,所有暗条以共同的中心向外辐射时宽度逐渐增加。暗条之间的空白区域可看作明条,在任何给定的径向距离内,明条和暗条宽度相同。理论上讲,所有靶条只相交于靶中心。有些扇形星靶,包括本页销售的全部,中心都是切断所有扇形条的空白圆。但是根据用来观察测试靶的成像系统的分辨率,扇形条在距中心一定距离处可能看起来是接触的。通过测量这个距离,用户可以定义光学系统的分辨率。
如要根据到扇形星中心的任意给定径向距离计算分辨率,先计算此半径处线对、明条或暗条的宽度。可以使用下面的弦长公式,其中r是到中心的径向距离。角度Θ是一对明暗靶条覆盖的度数,等于360°除以总的靶条数。计算线对宽度后,就可以知道分辨率,即宽度的倒数。
Thorlabs提供两种专用的扇形星靶(R1L1S2P和R1L1S3P)以及三种包含扇形星图和其它图案的测试靶(R1L3S5P、R1L1S1P和 R1L1S1N)。表2.10概括了每种测试靶的扇形星图案规格。

可变线栅
线栅是一组平行暗线,线宽等于线距。在任意线栅中,一条暗线和一个空白部分组成一个线对。光学系统的分辨率取决于它能区分相邻线对的能力。因此,线栅分辨率定义为给定空间内的线对数,一般以线对每毫米(lp/mm)表示。可变线栅有很多分区,从一个分区到下一个分区的分辨率增加或降低。通过识别光学系统能够分辨的最高线栅分辨率,用户就能确定系统分辨率。
Thorlabs提供各种可变线栅,分辨率范围从1.25 lp/mm到250lp/mm。表2.12给出了所含分辨率与线对尺寸的转换关系。

Could you please provide a high-resolution image of the R1DS1N1?
I need to compare the image and the original image to get an analysis to the imaging system.
Best regards,
Wenbo EGies
 (posted 2025-07-01 06:36:11.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. I have reached out to you directly regarding this. Daniel Penagos
 (posted 2024-11-07 01:01:26.553) Hi, Could you guys offer a 1inch 1951 USAF target for reflection too? Currently this only possible in the 3x1 format, not the 1inch one. cdolbashian
 (posted 2024-11-12 11:42:02.0) Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. We have both positive and negative test targets in the 1"x1" format as well as the 1" round format. I am not sure exactly what kind of target you are looking for in this sense. I have contacted you directly to discuss your application and requirements. Moshe Peleg
 (posted 2024-11-07 17:02:26.517) Hello,
I have this product in the lab. What is its error percentage? cdolbashian
 (posted 2024-11-12 09:19:17.0) Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. For the target R1L3S6PR, we have measured an error in center-to-center position of features of +/-100nm, and an error in width/dimension of features on the order of +/-500nm. Gyeonghun Kim
 (posted 2024-10-22 15:01:35.263) Hi, I would like to know the thickness of the Liquid Crystal Polymer layer in the birefringent 1951 USAF test target (R3L1S1B). I understand that each resolution target may have different retardance values. I’m just looking for a ballpark figure. Thanks. cdolbashian
 (posted 2024-10-28 09:48:21.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. We process the 1951 USAF Birefringent Resolution Test Targets by controlling the retardance rather than the thickness of the Liquid Crystal Polymer layer. The R3L1S1B has a retardance of approximately 0.5 waves at 532nm. Minh-Chau Nguyen
 (posted 2024-06-14 09:11:59.607) Hello,
My name is Minh-Chau Nguyen, R&D engineer at Phasics SA, France. I am writing you in order to consult the characteristics of the birefringent test target R3L1S1B.
I carried out a measurement of the retardance on your test target. The measurement is based on the light intensity while rotating a linear retarder under a polarized incident beam. The retardance is then calculated from the min and max of intensity. From the result, I have some conclusions:
- A significant retardance presents on the whole test target (inside and outside the pattern).
- The measured retardance is close to the data announced by Thorlabs. The difference of retardance is relatively small between the pattern and the surrounding zone.
- The difference between the pattern and the surrounding zone is mostly on the angle of fast-axis (Δθ ≈ 33°), which is not mentioned in the description.
Can you please validate my method of measurement as well as the result on the retardance and the angle of fast-axis, since it is not clearly mentioned in the description?
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Minh-Chau Nguyen cdolbashian
 (posted 2024-07-01 04:29:26.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The retardance of entire test target can be slightly non-uniform, as usually this R3L1S1B is used as a visual resolution tool. The typical fast axis angle of background and pattern is 0 degree and 45 degrees respectively. Again, as a visual tool, the retardance and axis angle are not tightly controlled and may vary from lot to lot.

 (posted 2022-10-26 11:59:29.04) Dear Sir or Madam,
I am sorry to bother you. I would like to have more information on how you calculated the outer and inner frequency of your Siemens star target.
Indeed, when I use your formula, taking 72 bars and so theta = 360°/72 = 5 and the outer diameter of 10mm, I get:
c = 2 * 10mm * sin(5°/2) = 0.8724 mm
resolution = 1 / 0.8724 = 1.1463 lp/mm
BUT, in your table, you indicate a frequency of 2.29 lp/mm at the outer diameter. Could it be possible to have the details of your calculations ? It seems I'm missing something and I really need to understand.
Thank you very much and sorry again for bothering you.
Best regards cdolbashian
 (posted 2022-10-31 01:52:36.0) Thank you for reaching out to us! I think perhaps you may be overlooking the negative space between each feature. The size of each line pair should be considered in the 72 segments. Simply take the number of line pairs (72) and divide by the circumference of the circle (2*Pi*5mm~31mm). Taking this quotient (72/31mm) yields ~2.29lp/mm. I have contacted you directly to address this further. Kimi Huang

A question about Reflectivity of pattern and clear area.
Would like to check the Reflectivity % of pattern is ? in the plot, it looks have high R% of pattern? but not make sense to me becuase pattern is black pattern. So I think I misunderstand something here.
So, the question is : what is the Reflectivity of Pattern and clear I should use in the model?
Thanks cdolbashian
 (posted 2022-02-18 05:09:16.0) Thank you for reaching out to us Kimi. The substrate of the R1DS1P is soda lime glass, while the pattern is made with anti-reflective chrome. The reflectivity of the chrome and the transmission of the soda lime, can be found on the "Graphs" tab on this page. You can approximate the reflectivity of the soda lime glass as 1-Transmission at a given wavelength, but for a true reflectivity value, one must also consider the absorption of the soda lime substrate. I have reached out to you directly to discuss this further in context of your particular light source. Ulrich Leischner
 (posted 2021-11-03 07:47:52.73) I need the precise values of the lines in this target. the value LP/mm is not completely clear. Is this the full diameter of 3 lines, or is this the periodic length (full diameter of 2 lines, a negative and a positive one)
A drawing with the values in the PDF would be very helpful.

 (posted 2021-11-12 04:45:20.0) Thank you for reaching out to Thorlabs. The definition of line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm) is defined by a pair of lines, one bright and one dark, in a given spacing. For example, if the specification is 1 lp/mm, that means that the coated line is 0.5mm and the uncoated line is 0.5mm. You can read more about this definition in our Resolution Targets tab at the top of the product page, further literature can be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_USAF_resolution_test_chart Fidel Vega

 (posted 2021-08-19 12:14:32.71) I recently ordered a positive and negative version of the R1L1S1P Resolution and Distortion Target. To be able to precisely navigate around the elements on this target, I ordered a XYF1 mount. Upon receipt, I now realize that the 18mm x 18mm target cannot easily be mounted in the XYF1 without covering much of the target elements. What is the recommended method of mounting these R1L1S1P targets? cdolbashian
 (posted 2021-08-27 09:29:10.0) Thank you for reaching out to us here at Thorlabs! The test target you have selected is intended for use with a standard microscopy system, rather than free space optics. Because this is the case, using it with the XYF1 may result in the obscuration of some of the edges of the test pattern, due to the size of the target. I have reached out to you directly with alternative solutions. We are always hungry for feedback, so we appreciate you bringing this incompatibility of seemingly-compatible parts to our attention. moti yanuka

 (posted 2017-12-27 04:07:26.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. You are correct if using the positive resolution targets then light incident on the front of the target light will reflect off of the chrome patterns.
