Optocraft’s industrial grade Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors enable measurements with outstanding accuracy and dynamics with highest intrinsic stability. The measurement principle of the sensors is based on capturing the wavefronts with the evaluation of a single camera frame. This whole procedure is therefore very fast and robust against external influences such as vibrations.
The combination of the wavefront sensor SHSCam with Optocraft’s powerful evaluation software SHSWorks makes for a powerful measuring system for a wide range of applications in the field of optics and lasers, e.g. :
- alignment of optical systems
- evaluation of the imaging properties
- laser beam characterization
The SHSCam sensor family
Optocraft offers a variety of Shack-Hartmann sensor models (SHSCam) that are optimized to correspond with their applications. They cover the spectral range from 193nm to 1700nm and have detection areas from 3.7 x 4.9mm² to 27.4 x 34.6mm²:
SHSLab performance examples
The outstanding performance of the SHSLab wavefront sensors is particularly evident when the going gets difficult. They can measure strongly aberrated wavefronts and are therefore used, e.g. for asphere testing. Alignment processes are also made considerably easier because the sensors deliver reliable results even when the optical system under test is stronlgy misaligned.
