Instantaneous Optical Metrology - PhaseCam LWIR

PhaseCam^® LWIR is used to align complex optical systems, wavefront error and even surface shape of rough, unpolished components using a 10.6 µm infrared wavelength. Featuring 4D Technology's ground-breaking dynamic interferometry mode. This system creates accurate and rapid measurements for critical optical parameters. Even through difficult environments.

The PhaseCam^® LWIR shares features with 4D Technology’s PhaseCam^® MWIR Twyman-Green interferometer. The custom PhaseCam^® LWIR instruments have the dual-port capability of their mid-wave infrared (MWIR) counterparts, so that multiple apertures can be supported simultaneously. With only the turn of a knob, the PhaseCam^® LWIR switches easily between two different optical test beams without changing the setup. Allowing measurement through the system’s main aperture or through the side port.

It’s like having two optical test stations in one setup.

“4D Technology’s innovative engineering has enabled a nimble adaptation of an existing product design into a new wavelength regime. Our customers come to us knowing we are capable of rapid development, and that we rely on experience from well-tested builds to assure their custom instrument’s performance and durability. We are happy to be able to react to the increasing interest in this spectral range. We are grateful for our customers’ confidence in our design capabilities, and our commitment to long-term support of every product we ship and are excited to be at the leading edge of new optical system applications,” said Erik Novak, Ph. D., general manager of 4D Technology.More products
