• Phasics to launch lens characterization tool at Photonics West

    Phasics will present KaleoMatic, a new solution for automated and precise optics characterization, at Photonics West 2010. Within a few seconds this new tool can automatically determine most of the optics parameters, including focal length, MTF, aberrations, surface quality, radius of curvature.

    Phasics will present KaleoMatic, a new solution for automated and precise optics characterization, at Photonics West 2010 in San Francisco. Within a few seconds this new tool can automatically determine most of the optics parameters, including focal length, MTF, aberrations, surface quality, radius of curvature. KaleoMatic is a cost-effective tool for fast and accurate lens characterization. Benefiting from Phasics-patented wave front sensors and metrology techniques, automatic measurements are highly reproducible and accurate. Within seconds, a GO/NO GO conformity report of the lenses is prepared, including the reason for a NO GO measurement. The system simultaneously measures aberrations, focal length, MTF of spherical and aspherical optics, surface quality, and radius of curvature. Its innovative technology allows characterization of highly opened optics (up to f/1.6) without any relay lens.

    PRESS RELEASE

    PHASICS PRESENTS NEW LENS CHARACTERIZATION TOOL AT PHOTONICS WEST IN JANUARY

    PHASICS manufactures high-resolution wavefront sensors and associated devices and software for laser characterization and optical metrology. The company will present KaleoMatic, a new solution for automated and precise optics characterization at Photonics West 2010 in San Francisco, from Jan. 26 to 28, on the French Pavilion at booth 1823. Within a few seconds, most of the optics parameters (including focal length, MTF, aberrations, surface quality, radius of curvature) are automatically determined.

    KaleoMatic is a cost-effective tool for fast and accurate lens characterization. Benefiting from PHASICS-patented wave front sensors and metrology techniques, automatic measurements are highly reproducible and accurate. KaleoMatic addresses the needs in R&D laboratories as well as in any production line. Whether testing manufactured optics or outside-supplier optics, no optical laboratory is required to check the component's quality -- all is achieved on-premises with the KaleoMatic.

    Within seconds, a GO/NO GO conformity report of the lenses is prepared. In addition, the reason for a NO GO measurement is provided: aspherisation error, multiple element misalignment, defective mold, etc

    For optical metrology, the KaleoMatic system simultaneously measures aberrations, focal length, MTF of spherical and aspherical optics, surface quality and radius of curvature. Its innovative technology allows characterization of highly opened optics (up to f/1.6) without any relay lens. Kaleo is particularly adapted to industry needs and allows a complete diagnostic of the lens quality.
