LIFT 272 Wavefront Sensor

Quality High Resolution wavefront sensor

The LIFT 272 brings the high resolution of the phase retrieval LIFT technology within everyone’s reach.
It features the new SpotTracker technology, which provides absolute wavefront sensing and tilt information and makes sensor alignment a mere formality.

LIFT 272 wavefront sensor

The LIFT 272 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 272 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.
