AWS-50 Wavefront Sensor
The AWS-50 is a Wavefront Sensor designed for the measurement of optical aberrations and surface shape. It comes in a variety of configurations to meet all your requirements for wavefront quality measurements.
The AWS-50 utilises the patented IMP (Image MultiPlex) Wavefront Sensing technology developed by QinetiQ Ltd, one of Europe's largest R&D establishments, to measure the optical properties of a probe beam, which can be transmitted through or reflected off a test object. The AWS-50 Wavefront Sensor is the world's only commercial curvature sensor.
Applications
- Testing of lenses, mirrors, and other optical components
- Analysis of aberrations in optical assemblies
- Bow measurement on wafers, hard discs, MEMS substrates
- Measurement of flatness of mechanical components
Features and benefits
- Better spatial resolution than Shack Hartmann sensors
- Very robust and easy to align
- Insensitive to vibration, unlike interferometers
- Compact and easy to use -ideal for QC or factory measurements
