Abstract :
In this paper, we report on a comprehensive verification of the quasi-optical design of the ALMA band 9 optics. Accurate nearfield (phase and amplitude measurements) are compared to detailed electromagnetic modelling of the optical system using GRASP8 for complete validation of the design.
