Abstract
A method is discussed for calculating the uncertainty in the rms error in a wavefront when processing interferograms recorded in the course of interferometric monitoring of optical systems and their components. It is shown that the rms error is a linear function of the mean varia nce of the reconstructed wavefront over the pupil.
