Precision Optical Design for Advanced Wavefront Sensors
Why Custom Optics Matter in Wavefront Sensors
Standard optical components often fall short in demanding wavefront sensing applications. Custom-designed optics enable significant performance enhancements in resolution, sensitivity, and speed.
Key Design Elements
- Microlens arrays are the core component in Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors; their custom specifications directly impact system resolution, sensitivity, and accuracy.
- Customized detectors and coatings improve light capture, reduce noise, and ensure compatibility with the microlens configuration.
- Advanced fabrication techniques, such as binary optics and hybrid-layer structures, unlock new design flexibility and performance levels.
- Adaptive optical elements provide real-time tunability, making sensors more versatile in dynamic environments.
- Integration with computational imaging and AI is paving the way for faster, more accurate wavefront reconstruction.
