Based on more than 20 years of experience in wavefront sensing, as well as on collaborations with beamline scientists, Imagine Optic developed the Haso HXR, a wavefront sensor based on the Hartmann technique. The system provides single-shot measurement and live visualization of the wavefront over a broad 5-25 keV energy, offers a high accuracy (typically lambda/10 rms), is achromatic, and its compactness allows its use at multiple locations on a beamline. Because a wavefront sensor provides a quantitative measurement of the optical phase, the system can also be used as a phase imaging system for use in biology or material science.
As an exemplary use case, the device has been recently demonstrated as an efficient tool for controlling active optics (more details in the corresponding publication).
