WaveMaster® LAB

In development environments WaveMaster® LAB is the accurate tool for testing spherical and aspherical optics.

WaveMaster® LAB is a stand-alone vertical optical bench. It has a flexible setup, which enables the operator to change between different configurations - collimated or a point light source - with several numerical apertures. Samples are measured in finite as well as infinite configuration.

When the Illumination is set up, several telescopes permit maximum utilization of the dynamic range of the sensor. In addition WaveMaster® LAB includes miscellaneous tools e.g. for alignment of the sample or the determination of optical properties of the entire setup.

The comprehensive software allows for analysis of Zernike or MTF in each configuration.

Advantages of WaveMaster® LAB

Flexible concept: Allows for various optical configurations on a vertical optical bench

Fast change between measurement configurations due to kinematic mounts

Easy exchange and alignment of samples

Measurement in absolute or relative mode

High measurement speed

Extremely accurate measurements with a high spatial resolution

Comprehensive software with a variety of analysis options

Variety of collimated light sources with different wavelengths

Several numerical apertures for optimum illumination of the optic under test

Several collimating lenses, a set of telescopes for maximum utilization of the sensor’s dynamic range

Special System Components for WaveMaster® LAB

High precision four axes alignment sample holder for submicron position alignment

Independent alignment tool for sample tilt

High precision linear bearings enable the setup of all components in the required position

Stable optical axis even during change of setups

An additional camera allows for testing further properties of the optical setup, for example system magnification or object plane position
