Visible & Near-Infrared Wavefront Sensors

 

Visible and Near-Infrared (VIS–NIR) wavefront sensors are essential for accurately characterizing optical systems operating in the 400–1100 nm spectral range. This category brings together Imagine Optic’s HASO and LIFT wavefront sensors, designed to deliver high accuracy, high spatial resolution, and robust absolute measurements for both laboratory and industrial environments.

Covering applications from optical system alignment and aberration measurement to laser diagnostics and adaptive optics, these sensors enable precise control of wavefront quality across a wide range of visible and near-infrared wavelengths.

Our VIS–NIR wavefront sensors are based on Shack-Hartmann and phase retrieval technologies, offering solutions adapted to different measurement needs:

  • High spatial sampling for detailed wavefront reconstruction

  • Large dynamic range to analyze complex or highly aberrated systems

  • Large analysis pupils for direct testing of medium to large beams

  • Absolute wavefront sensing enabled by embedded factory calibration

Advanced features such as SpotTracker technology ensure reliable measurements of both wavefront shape and beam tilt, simplifying sensor alignment and improving repeatability in demanding setups.

Visible and near-infrared wavefront sensors are commonly used to:

  • Quantify optical system aberrations and verify compliance with specifications

  • Align optical assemblies for optimal imaging and focusing performance

  • Diagnose laser beams and monitor pointing stability

  • Analyze the impact of environmental effects such as temperature and gravity

  • Characterize optical components and systems across multiple wavelengths

These capabilities make them well suited for optical science laboratories, industrial metrology, laser system development, and advanced imaging applications.

Within this category, you will find wavefront sensors optimized for cost-effective testing, high-speed measurements, large pupil analysis, or ultra-high spatial resolution, allowing you to select the solution that best matches your beam size, wavelength range, and measurement accuracy requirements.
