SWIR Wavefront Sensor
The HASO SWIR wavefront sensor utilizes an InGaAs camera, providing superior accuracy, a broad dynamic range, and high-speed performance across the SWIR 0.9-1.7 µm wavelength range. Tailored for applications in optical metrology and adaptive optics, the HASO SWIR stands out with key features:
- Achieving λ/100 rms accuracy within the 0.9 – 1.7 µm wavelength range
- Simultaneous and independent measurement of both phase and intensity
- True absolute measurement capability
- A large dynamic range to accommodate varied optical conditions
- High acquisition frequency, reaching up to 99 Hz
The ideal tool for optical metrology and adaptive optics applications such as long-range communication.
- λ/100 rms absolute accuracy for incoherent and λ/50 rms for coherent light on a huge dynamic range (see the graph below)
- Measurement more than 150 Zernike polynomials with individual accuracy better than 5 nm rms
Transform your Wavefront Sensor into a full Metrology Solution with R-FLEX & R-FLEX LA
The R-FLEX2 stands out as a flexible optical metrology system seamlessly integrating any HASO4 wavefront sensors with a collimator and a light source. Presently employed in diverse applications, the R-FLEX2 plays a crucial role in quality control for life science instrumentation, alignment of large telescopes and collimators, as well as the assessment of large concave mirrors, lenses, and complex optical systems in general.
The R-FLEX LA serves as a collimating platform, expanding the functionalities of the HASO R-FLEX2 to encompass large optics and optical surfaces. The collimated beam produced by this platform varies in size, ranging from 30 to 150 mm. It is adept at analyzing extensive optical components such as filters, dichroic beam splitters, head-up displays, eyewear, optical windows, flat mirrors, and polarization scramblers.
