| Extended Precision Package for the PhaseCam 6000 Dynamic Interferometer
|
|
Extended precision metrology is critical for controlling optics polishing methods such as Ion Beam Etching and
Magnetorheological Finishing (MRF). These methods can create features with higher spatial frequency than
traditional polishing methods; therefore, the metrology used to verify the polishing must also have higher
precision in these frequencies. The EPP option for the PhaseCam 6000 meets this challenge by extending
precision by more than 4X in this critical spatial range.

The PhaseCam 6000 is a compact and lightweight laser interferometer which utilizes Dynamic Interferometry to
make high-speed surface measurements despite vibration or air turbulence. With a fiber-coupled measurement
head and motorized controls the PhaseCam 6000 is ideal for use in on-machine metrology and other
challenging environments. Applications include feedback for polishing of large, focal optics, verification of optical
systems such as concave telescope mirrors and lens systems, and measurement of moving components such
as deformable mirrors and adaptive optics.
The Extended Precision Package, which includes an electronics/optics unit and 5 meter fiber, greatly increases
quality and throughput for optics manufacturers using modern polishing methods. |

New NIR Laser Interferometers from 4D Technology
4D Technology announces its new series of PhaseCam? laser interferometers for accurate surface and wavefront measurements at 1.053, 1.064, 1.3 & 1.55 micron wavelengths.
PhaseCam laser interferometers employ "dynamic interferometry" technology to acquire data in less than 30 microseconds. Because acquisition time is so short, the instruments are insensitive to vibration and air turbulence, enabling use in difficult environments such as production floors, clean rooms and environmental testing chambers. Beam Ratio adjustment ensures maximum fringe contrast, enabling measurement of optics with reflectivity from 1 - 100%. |
