Aiming at the problem that high steepness aspheric optical components lack a versatile and efficient surface shape detection method in the grinding and rough polishing stages, swing-arm profilometer suitable for high steepness aspheric surface shape detection is proposed. The system can perform both high and low steepness aspheric specular inspections. We established the mathematical measurement model of the swing-arm profilometer, carried out the mechanical structure design, built the swing-arm profilometer prototype, and designed the error compensation algorithm. The system has the advantages of easy adjustment and high measurement efficiency. The swing-arm profilometer prototype is used to measure the standard spherical mirror and ellipsoidal mirror, and the measurement results show that the measuring device has good detection accuracy and repeatability, which can effectively improve the measurement and processing efficiency of aspheric optical components.
