LIFT SWIR 160

Quality High Resolution wavefront sensing in the 980-1650nm spectrum

The LIFT SWIR 160 phase retrieval wavefront sensor is based on an InGaAs camera, offering high accuracy, large dynamic range and high-speed acquisition frequency in the NIR SWIR spectral range.
It features the new SpotTracker technology, which provides absolute wavefront sensing and tilt information and makes sensor alignment a mere formality.

LIFT SWIR 160 Wavefront Sensor

LIFT SWIR 160 phase retrieval wavefront sensor combines all the unique features developed by Imagine Optic during 30+ years of innovation and customers feedback: ease of use (absolute measurement thanks to the embedded factory calibration), high performance (high accuracy of lambda/100 RMS, very large dynamic range), robustness (phase measurement independent of beam intensity variation, achromaticity over calibrated spectral range, insensitivity to vibrations) together with ultra high resolution (spatial resolution x16 compared with Shack Hartmann)

The LIFT SWIR 160 wavefront sensor is fully compatible with the Optical Engineer Companion, our family of versatile modules that combine together instantaneously to create any optical testing configuration you need.
