Interferometer uses high-speed optical phase sensor.
Press Release Summary:
FizCam(TM) 1500 dynamic Fizeau interferometer uses single camera and high-speed optical phase sensor, making it insensitive to vibration and air turbulence. It measures full wavefront in 30 millionths of second and features 16x optical/digital zoom, wavelengths from 638 nm to 1.06 mm, and aperture options from 100-600 mm. System includes interferometer mainframe, Pentium IV computer system, and 4Sight(TM) advance wavefront analysis software.
Original Press Release:
4D Technology Introduces a New High Performance Dynamic Fizeau Interferometer System
TUCSON, AZ - April 18, 2005 - 4D Technology Corporation, announces the newest in a line of products for its FizCam(TM) family, high performance dynamic Fizeau interferometer systems. Employing breakthrough technology, the FizCam(TM) 1500 uses a single camera and high-speed optical phase sensor making it insensitive to vibration and air turbulence. The system enables full wavefront measurements in as little as 30 millionths of a second, more than 5000 times faster than any conventional temporal phase shifting interferometer! Moreover, the FizCam 1500 offers magnification imaging of 16X optical/digital zoom, wavelengths from 638 nm to 1.06mm and aperture options from 100 to 600mm.
The FizCam 1500 is a turn-key system that includes the interferometer mainframe, a fast Pentium IV computer system and 4Sight(TM) advance wavefront analysis software. The system eliminates bulky and slow phase shifters and will measure parts with any reflectivity from 2% to 100% with a simple twist of a knob. Applications include production floor optical testing and quality control, clean room applications, as well as measurements on automated manufacturing machines such as polishers and diamond turning machines. The FizCam 1500 can also be used to measure moving parts such as scanner mirrors, spinning disks, or vibrating membranes in addition to aiding high-speed gas flow and turbulence studies. Major markets include aerospace, astronomy, optical fabrication, and adaptive optics
Most accessory optics from other manufacturers is compatible with the FizCam eliminating the need to replace costly accessories. 4D Technology offers precision optics as well if additional components are needed.
