LIDAR, ADAS , Windshield and Free From Optics Characterization

In the modern automotive industry, optical elements such as LIDAR systems, ADAS cameras and sensors, head-up displays (HUDs), windshields, and free-form optics for advanced lighting play a central role in safety, performance, and driving experience. These components require extreme precision to function reliably under varying environmental conditions. This is where wavefront sensing and optical metrology for automotive optics become indispensable. By providing high-resolution measurement and characterization of optical surfaces and transmitted wavefronts, these technologies ensure that automotive optics meet stringent quality standards. From calibrating LIDAR for autonomous vehicles to verifying windshield Quality and optimizing headlight beam patterns, wavefront sensing and optical metrology for automotive optics drive innovation, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher accuracy, improved safety, and better energy efficiency.

LIDAR OPTICAL TESTING

Our compact single-pass metrology sensors make laser beam testing easier and faster and are ideal for working in confined spaces. Characterize quality, collimate, align and improve laser-based systems performance in the VIS, NIR and SWIR ranges.

ADAS LENSES TESTING

Wavefront sensing is a great solution for characterizing lenses, protective windows and filters at any desired wavelength and provides instant access to a large range of parameters: optical quality, surface shape, 1D profiles, 2D/3D reconstructions, modulation transfer function (MTF).

WINDSHIELD QUALIFICATION

Control the optical quality of windshields in transmission and characterize wedge, measure surface form in reflection using Imagine Optic versatile instruments, which combine unmatched accuracy, dynamic range and sampling.
