OptoWave 40

Optowave 40 intereferometer
  • Overview +


    Optowave 40 is a full-featured interferometer that can provide non-contact measurement of flat or spherical surfaces and transmitted wavefront of optical components and assemblies. The Optowave 40 is ideal for measuring a wide variety of optical components including but not limited to contact lenses, IntraOcular Lenses and Mold Inserts. Measurements can be made using simple basic visual fringe inspection, IntelliPhase™ static spatial carrier analysis, or phase-modulated interferogram analysis. Optowave 40 provides flexibility to handle today's applications at an unprecedented value.

    Be certain to read the instructions for use before using the equipment

    1) Vibration free environment with temp. change < 1°C/15 min. between 20-23°C, no thermals
    2) 3 sigma repeatability of 3-Flat Test with 32 averages per set
    3) 3 sigma of the rms for 128 data sets, each an average of 32 measurements
    4) These parameters state conditions which the system can operate; they do not represent the environmental stability required to meet performance.
