The
WaveScope® wavefront sensor
is the core of AOA's family of precision electro-optical
instruments. Using a modified Shack-Hartmann technique,
WaveScope measures the wavefront quality of laser and
laser diode light sources as well as lenses, mirrors, and
complete optical systems.
Unlike
interferometers, WaveScope does not require a coherent
monochromatic source. The system is insensitive to vibration
and room turbulence, and can have a dynamic range of hundreds
of waves of aberration. It can deliver measurement accuracy
better than 1/50 of a wavelength of light at 632.8 nm.
AOA
has several WaveScope sensor options to meet most requirements
from the UV through the IR. In addition, fast framing
and triggered versions are also available. Details may
be found within our product line
information.
Customized
Solutions
As
a manufacturer of electro-optical instruments since 1978,
AOA has the experience and technical staff to solve your
wavefront sensing problems. For requirements other than
those of our standard products, WaveScope can be tailored
to almost any application.
