For the past 25 years, Imagine Optic's HASO family of wavefront sensors and optical metreology systems has relied on Shack-Hartman wavefront measurement. This technology was originaly developed for the metrology of primary mirrors, and subsequently used in adaptive...
Optics Characterization with R-Flex2 and R-Flex LA – webinar
Optics Characterization" ran 3 succesful sessions, and inaugurates a series of wavefront metrology. The 100+ attendees saw live demos by our CTO Guillaume Dovillaire to demonstrate the outstanding capabilities of our newly released R-Flex2 and R-Flex LA, and notably...
10 reasons to use Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors
Wavefront sensors have various perceived benefits but here are 10 objective reasons that have made Shack-Hartmann a trusted standard in the field. Real time measurement (up to several kHz) Achromatic Absolute measurement (typ. lambda/100, lambda/1000 achievable)...
HASO SWIR : wavefront sensing for adaptive optics and optical metrology
This last generation SWIR sensor is offering comparable level of performance over the VIS, a game changer in AO applications across the board. Over the past decade a broad range of sensing, imaging and beam transportation applications have switched from the VIS...
R-FLEX LA : better, simpler, faster than any interferometer for filter characterization
Spectral filters are optical elements that are difficult to characterize in transmission using a standard interferometer. Because these elements behave differently depending on the wavelength, they tend to be unmeasurable using an interferometer with a fixed working...
Make the Most of UHIL Systems with Adaptive Optics
Adaptive Optics (AO) dramatically improve the performance of optical systems by mastering wavefront distortions to deliver optimal focus and quality imaging for both scientific and industrial applications. The principle of an AO optimization for UHIL is that a...
