Measuring meter-class spherical optics like astronomical telescopes and space telescopes can be difficult because large turbulent air cavities and the sheer size of the optics can make vibration isolation impossible. That's where dynamic interferometers make metrology possible. This demo in our lab shows how a measurement of an optic that is widely separated, not vibration isolated and with turbulent air is easy, because the small, light PhaseCam laser interferometer is easy to align--even if the optic is not. PhaseCam is a Twyman-Green interferometer, which means that it's light output is well-conserved in the process -- providing a strong laser source for illumination and bright, high contrast interference fringe generation. Its operating range is meters from the instrument. PhaseCam 6110 has a 6 megapixel imaging camera and high quality optics, allowing for excellent spatial resolution across the data set. Its dynamic, single-frame acquisition, using 4D Technology's patented polarization technique means that acquisition speeds are only limited by exposure time, and are measured in microseconds. The Twyman-Green format makes the instrument ideal for measuring surface shape of spherical optics, of any size, and with highest precision.

FemtoLux 30 is a new 30 W femtosecond industrial grade laser build to work 24/7/365 without any interruptions. Other lasers of similar optical power use water for cooling, which means additional bulky and heavy water chiller is needed which require periodical maintenance (cooling system draining and rinsing, water and particle filter replacement). Moreover, in the unfortunate event of water leakage, not only laser head but also more expensive equipment could be damaged. FemtoLux 30 uses innovative direct refrigerant cooling method that do not contain any water inside the laser head and has much higher cooling efficiency. Laser cooling equipment is integrated together with the power supply unit into a single 4U rack mounted housing with a total weight of just < 15 kg. To tailor laser for specific applications, FemtoLux 30 laser has a tunable pulse duration from < 350 fs to 1 ps and can operate in very broad AOM controlled range of pulse repetition rate from a single shot to 4 MHz. While max energy of >250 µJ, that could be achieved while operating in a burst mode, could ensure higher ablation rates for different materials. FemtoLux 30 is designed as perfect tool for display and microelectronics manufacturing, as well as for micro processing and marking of brittle materials, such as glass, sapphire or ceramics, as well as for highest quality micro processing of different metals and polymers. Innovative laser control electronics ensures easy control of FemtoLux30, thus reducing time and resources required for integrating this laser into different equipment.

The HighFinesse Linewidth Analyzer 1k series is the ultimate high-end instrument for measuring, analyzing, and controlling frequency and intensity noise of lasers. This device allows users to conduct analysis of frequency noise density, optical lineshape and relative intensity noise with evaluation of intrinsic and effective linewidth. The extremely fast analysis provides real time measurement and evaluation of noise sources such as servo bumps and frequency drifts. In this demo we demonstrate how to use the LWA-1k 1550 in three different modes – time series, noise, and lineshape analysis. In the time series mode, the digitizer settings are used to adjust he time scale and analyze the linewidth at specific points. In the noise analysis, we measure the intrinsic linewidth and we demonstrate how to find sources of noise to eliminate. Finally, we show how lineshape mode can be used to achieve laser modulation and frequency adjustments to broaden or narrow the linewidth.

At the visible wavelengths range phase modulating Spatial Light Modulators are used for a growing number of imaging-like applications (e.g. holographic projection, 3D holographic displays or structured illumination). Compared to the use of conventional imaging display technologies like LED backlights or LED front illumination, the use of LCOS based phase SLMs for holographic reconstruction using laser illumination, shows the advantage of providing higher light efficiency and with that the same performance or higher brightness using lower powers. The image is generated by diffraction (redistribution of light) instead of blocking light (amplitude modulation) like at conventional projection systems. We demonstrate a setup for color sequential holographic projection using standard components: LETO-3 or LUNA Spatial Light Modulator, HOLOEYE diffractive projection engine and FISBA Ready Beam RGB laser.

Traditionally, Optical Engineers have relied on having a good starting point - a design that comes close to the desired goals - and then tweaking that to make it work. However, having such a starting point is rare. Except in a few simple cases, there is no closed-form solution to the lens design problem. One must think, go through trials, learn from experience, and iterate. The Automatic Design Tools in SYNOPSYS™ are created to provide an effective solution by putting as much of the design burden on the computer, freeing Engineers from the most tedious of these traditional tasks. It aims to ease the process in finding good starting points, and to facilitate exploration of the design space to discover alternative design forms which may deliver better performances not normally realized using conventional design protocols. In this video, we will illustrate the use of the following Design Tools: • Design Search (DSEARCH): A search tool for fixed focus systems. • Automatic Element Scanning Tools: These tools scan the lens systems to find the best place to insert or delete elements or to use an unusual surface such as aspheric. We start with an introduction to SYNOPSYS™ and its automatic design search tools. We will use a seven- element system as an example to illustrate the DSEARCH tool in SYNOPSYS and how the system tolerance requirements can be relaxed when searched with the tolerance desensitization goal. Then we will show how to use the automatic element insertion/deletion tools to improve the lens system.

Diagnoses and treatments are made possible or accelerated by optical systems in both the fields of medical technology and bioanalysis. Imaging methods based on fluorescence, interference, and polarization (e.g. microbiology, endoscopy, ophthalmology, or dental technology) enable a better quality of life.

The TM-1010 is the latest addition to the family of LensCheck™ and OpTest® Thermal Modules developed to enable lens testing over temperature, typically from -30° to +100°C. Specifically designed for small lenses with fields of view up to 160°, the TM-1010 adds to the range of automotive lenses that may now be characterized over a range of temperatures on a LensCheck or OpTest instrument. Besides the thermal chamber in which the lens is mounted, thermal modules also include a recirculating thermal controller, a Skyhook™ hose carrier, and a dry air control manifold. Insulated hoses are provided to connect these subsystems. The recirculating chiller/heater serves to control the temperature of the working fluid and to pump it through the walls of the heat exchanger in the thermal chamber. The manifold regulates the flow of dry air into the chamber, and the thermal chamber itself mounts either directly to the LensCheck instrument, or to the LP-1000 lens platform when used with an OpTest system, and regulates the temperature of the lens under test. The design of the thermal chamber features an integrated tip-tilt mount to facilitate the alignment of the lens to the optical bench. In addition to the new TM-1010, Optikos Thermal Modules include the TM-1050, with an internal clear diameter of 50mm and may be used with LensCheck and OpTest systems; and the TM-1150, with an internal clear diameter of 150mm, designed for use with an OpTest lens testing bench.

Watch the simple process of setting up and programming a fully automated optical grinding process. Using remote automation software that communicates with OptiPro's G Series lens grinding software, the collaborative robot (cobot) arm will automatically pick up a blank from the part tray and load it into the self-clamping chuck. The PRO 160 GTS optical grinding machine will subsequently perform rough and fine grinding of a concave spherical surface. The machine will then perform in-situ probing of the surface before the cobot consecutively unloads the ground part and loads a new blank using dual grippers. The cobot will then place the ground part into the part tray and pick up a new lens for the next grinding cycle. By supplementing your workforce with robot automation, you can increase throughput, lower operating costs and enhance your bottom line, all while freeing your technicians from doing repetitive tasks so they can focus on more challenging responsibilities that are more valuable to your company's future success.

Image intensifiers increase the intensity of available light in a system allowing for better image reproduction in low-light scenarios when capturing fast kinetic events. One of the key benefits of using an sCMOS-based camera module inside the pco.dicam series systems – besides high sensitivity, dynamic, and resolution – is high frame rates at full resolution. Now, a sustained frame rate of 106 fps at full 4.2 MPixel resolution with 16 bit dynamic range has turned into reality. It is not only the fast sCMOS sensor camera module, but it is also the ultra-fast CLHS (Camera Link High Speed) interface which has opened the door to an unprecedented intensified image data rate of 880 MB/s. Our pco.dicam portfolio is well established with the pco.dicam C1; the pco.dicam C4; and, since 2020 with the introduction of our revolutionary new pco.dicam C8 which provides up to 6.8 GB/s data rates using 8 x 10G fibre optic data interface capabilities. All of these pco.dicam product variants mentioned above use a 25 mm internal image intensifier. However, for the very first time using the virtual Photonics West Conference as our launchpad, we proudly present the all new 18 mm internal image intensifier series: pco.dicam C1, C4, C8 UHS (Ultra High Speed) pco.dicam C1, C4, C8 LT (Lite) These new products now deliver the most versatile intensified camera portfolio available on the market. We are pleased to answer your questions and look forward to meet with you at our virtual booth for discussions with our experts.

Evaluating the visual quality of displays that are viewed through augmented (AR), mixed (MR), and virtual reality (VR) headsets or smart glasses requires visual testing from the vantage point of the user. The human pupil size, position, and field of view inside the headset determines the viewing experience and impacts perceived brightness, clarity, focus, color, aberration, and defects. Test and measurement systems therefore require specific optical designs to replicate the viewing distances and visual constraints of head-mounted display devices to ensure effective evaluation of qualities visible to the user. The award-winning AR/VR Lens from Radiant Vision Systems was specially engineered with aperture characteristics that simulate the approximate size, position, and field of view of the human eye within head-mounted devices. Radiant's AR/VR Lens is quickly implemented in automated production testing for accurate and efficient evaluation of in-headset displays and projections. In this video, Jessy Hosken, Product Engineer at Radiant, will demonstrate how a high-resolution ProMetric® Imaging Colorimeter paired with AR/VR Lens and TT-ARVR™ Software enables rapid visual inspection of AR/VR displays. Using this solution, visual display characteristics are imaged simultaneously across 120° H by 80° V from the eye position, enabling complete analysis in under a minute. Viewers of this demo will learn about Radiant's turnkey solution for in-headset display testing and see automated test sequences performed to evaluate AR smart glasses for a range of visual performance criteria (brightness, color, contrast, MTF, focus uniformity, distortion, field of view, and more). Additional information can be found online at https://www.radiantvisionsystems.com/products/imaging-colorimeters-photometers/ar/vr-lens.

Long-term stable fiber-coupling requires sub-micron precision and pointing stability. This is especially true when a polarization-maintaining single-mode fiber is to be permanently attached to a free beam laser. Tests of the popular single-mode coupler series 60SMS have shown that it is possible to achieve outstanding long-term stability over a wide temperature range while having a sensitive adjustment procedure. We will give a short overview about the products and technologies at Schäfter+Kirchhoff and then we will present the technical features of the laser beam coupler series 60SMS and show and explain all the degrees of freedom used in the coupler to achieve high coupling efficiencies. We will then show stability measurements that prove the long-term stability. Following an explanation on the different lens types that can be used in the coupler we will explain how accurate measurements of the effective fiber numerical aperture provide the basis for choosing the most appropriate coupling and collimating optics. Afterwards we will introduce the Product Configurator for fiber couplers and collimators on www.sukhamburg.com that makes the process of choosing the most appropriate coupler for an application quick and easy.

The products that we will include in our demonstration are our Flexible Wavelength Selector (FWS) tunable filter devices and Spectrometer (SP series) for output readings with software interface display. The Flexible Wavelength Selector (FWS) is a simple and compact approach to tunable wavelength filtering that combines the wavelength tuning and bandwidth adjustment capabilities of a monochromator with the imaging functionality of a thin-film filter that is ideal for use in both illumination and image acquisition. Due to the modular design, they are intended to be used with a separate broadband light source (LEDs, lasers, or lamps) where input and output connections can be either fiber, fiber-collimated, collimated, or free space. FWS tunable filters have a spectral tuning range from 358-900 nm, varies between models, with an adjustable bandwidth (FWHM) from ~2-16 nm (See spec sheets for more details). FWS devices are ideal for both end user and OEM integration in microscopy and other instrumentation applications across the life sciences – for filtering both sources and detectors. Examples include optogenetics, cell biology, spectroscopic chemical imaging, machine vision, and hyperspectral imaging applications in aerospace, pharma, agriculture, semiconductor, and automotive industries. Compared to existing tunable filtering technologies (AOTFs, Liquid Crystal Tunable Filter, etc.), FWS devices have the following advantages: 1. High Transmission efficiency (>75%) 2. Polarization-independent 3. High OD for out-of-band blocking (>OD6-12) 4. Independent control of center wavelength and bandwidth 5. Large circular aperture for imaging applications For more information visit https://www.spectrolightinc.com/ or contact sales@spectrolightinc.com

Scientific cameras used for high end imaging applications often put a large emphasis on high speed data collection. However, achieving faster frame rates usually means creating a smaller region of interest and sacrificing imaging area. Furthermore, the low exposure times required results in fewer photons captured per pixel which can give poor quality images. The Kinetix sCMOS addresses these challenges with a 500 frames per second readout mode with a huge 29.4 mm diagonal field of view. Combining this with 95% peak quantum efficiency and a low 1.0 e- read noise mode, the Kinetix is able to deliver fast imaging for the highest speed applications without sacrificing field of view or signal detection capability.

CCD and CMOS technology are well established, but over the past two decades there has been a shift from CCD towards CMOS devices, in particular for scientific applications tackling low-light and relatively short exposure times. Although CCD technology is still advantageous for applications such as spectroscopy and astronomy, it is limited by relatively higher read noise and slow readout speed. CMOS technology can overcome these limitations, however scaling this to larger formats has hit technology limits, resulting in slower or noisier products. At Teledyne Imaging, we have combined the benefits of CCD-like technology with the advantages of CMOS sensor architecture to create the ultimate CMOS imaging experience. The newly developed LACera™ technology provides deep-cooled, low-noise performance on a large sensor area, with global shutter, high dynamic range, and glow reduction technology all within one sensor. This technology has also been integrated into an astronomy optimized, large format CMOS camera called COSMOS. Combining all of the advantages of LACera™ technology into one fully integrated device, the COSMOS is advantageous for astronomy applications requiring faster frame rates, high sensitivity and low noise, all while offering large sensor areas for multiple object capture per frame.

Integrated NIR spectroscopy solutions based on our Multi-Pixel PbS and PbSe infrared detectors cover a wide spectral range while offering the scalability and flexibility needed to equip consumer appliances with unique material detection features that make them smarter and enhance our daily lives - e.g. with textile identification.

Compass™ sets the bar for precision metrology of spherical, aspherical, and freeform micro lenses and their injection molds typically employed in smartphone cameras. ZYGO's metrology systems enable manufacturers to improve quality and yield of their processes, while lowering metrology costs. To accomplish this, Compass utilizes CSI technology and advanced software algorithms, together with an automated multi-axis staging system to deliver surface form and deviation, texture, and relational (dimensional) parameters – all without contacting the precise optical surface. Leading manufacturers have adopted Compass to help optimize their manufacturing cycle. Applications include: • Combined form deviation and relational metrology: one non-contact tool can measure both the complete optical surface and evaluate the deviation from design prescription as well as inspection of mechanical datums and interlocks needed to construct complete camera modules. • Production optimization: Compass supports export of metrology data to optical modeling software and Diamond Turning optimization platforms such as Diffsys™. • Reverse engineering: When the prescription is unknown, measurements are possible using the unique 'follower mode' which tracks the optical surface to generate a full surface map, which can then be analyzed using the asphere form tools. Compass is ideal for precision small optics applications requiring complete characterization of the optical surface and mechanical datums.
