SHSInspect RL module

Compact module for optics testing in double pass configuration or for surface shape measurement in reflection

Benefits

  • Precise measurement in double pass or in reflected light
  • Simple switching of the test wavelength thanks to the modular concept
  • Measurement of aspherical wavefronts with several lambda PV
  • SHSLab wavefront sensor can be used separately

The SHSInspect RL module is a flexible unit for the functional test of optics in double pass and for the reflected light measurement of the surface shape. It combines the SHSLab wavefront sensor, fiber-coupled light source and imaging optics in a compact system, thus greatly simplifying integration in laboratory setups or production lines.

Particularly well-corrected optics, such as imaging lenses, are tested in double pass, with the advantages of increased measurement accuracy and the precise referencing of the test set-up.

In the test configurations shown above, the SHSInspect RL module allows referencing using a high-precision spherical or plane mirror.

At Zeiss AG, Comsumer Products, we utilize Optocraft’s SHSInspect RL module to investigate the optical aberrations of our lenses in order to ensure best in class performance of ZEISS products. Optocraft stands behind their products all the way from concept development to deep technical recommendations and solutions. Their support was instrumental in every phase of the project. There are no black boxes, neither in hardware nor in software, which was absolutely necessary to build a reliable and highly accurate metrology setup.
