It is an exemplary object of the present invention to provide an
aberration measuring apparatus capable of measuring wavefront aberration
of an optical system to be analyzed at a high degree of accuracy for a
long time. In order to attain this object, the aberration measuring
apparatus of the present invention comprises a light source which emits
light having a near-infrared wavelength, a wavelength transformer which
transforms light from the light source to light having substantially the
same wavelength as the wavelength used and an interferometer which causes
the light from the wavelength transformer to enter the optical system to
be analyzed and measures aberration of the optical system to be analyzed.
