SID4 technological advantages

Intensity and phase maps comparison

  • SID4 wavefront sensor gives a phase and intensity map sampled on 160x120 measurement points and offers to the user a precise laser beam analysis.
    From high resolution results:
    - High measurement reproducibility,
    - A precise and rigorous optical aberration evaluation (Zernike, Legendre).
  • Our lateral shearing interferometry technology ensures a measurement precision of λ/200 RMS in an absolute mode and up to λ/1000 RMS in a relative mode.
  • Modified Hartmann mask is achromatic, measurement in coherent and incoherent light are possible (laser, LED, halogen source...).

  • SID4 wavefront sensor does not need an elaborate alignment procedure. Tilt measurement is independant of the global wavefront measurement.
  • SID4 is insensitive to energy variations. Measurement is independent of intensities modulation of the analyzed source in the sensitivity range of the camera.

  • Ergonomics, SID4 is easy and quick to implement.
  • SID4 wavefront sensor only needs a workshop calibration without any posterior calibration cheking.
  • SID4 is self referenced and so insensitive to vibrations.

  • SID4 includes an intuitive software with a fast and robust analysis method.
