Abstract
A diffractive axicon for grazing incidence interferometry of cylindrical ob jects is presented. For industrial measurement, an element with a diameter of 8 cm was manufactured. The axicon was recorded in dichromated gelatine ( DCG) with a high-precision rotating stage. The diffraction theory for the d esign of the element is presented. The axicon was tested interferometricall y. Some possible errors are discussed.
