Why is Optical Metrology important?
Optical metrology is the study of measurement using light. It is often preferable to mechanical metrology due to its greater accuracy, versatility, and ability to profile delicate workpieces. An optician’s ability to finish an optical surface is often limited by metrology. Measuring the specific attributes of a lens to known certainties establishes lens quality, which creates value for the customer. Reliable inspection data, therefore, removes unknowns in optical system modeling and performance. At Optimax, we run a continuous improvement program for quality assurance to identify measurement uncertainties and minimize their impact upon optics inspection.
Types of Optics
We apply our state-of-the-art optical and mechanical metrology solutions across the full spectrum of our product offerings, including our aspheric optics, cylinders, domes, freeforms, prisms, spheres, and so on. Refer to our high-precision optical components for more information.
Technology
Our approach to optical precision focuses on continual innovation and using the most specialized tools available. We have a suite of industrial metrology solutions to meet the most extreme measurement needs. These include: precision standard fizeau interferometers for irregularity measurements in spherical and plano surfaces; surface profilers for non-spherical surfaces (i.e. aspheres), and stitching interferometers to measure multiple zones on a lens surface, then mathematically stitch the data together to determine irregularity over the full aperture.
The new Optimax Metrology Laboratory provides the best possible environment for precision optical measurements. With extreme vibration isolation and temperature control, the facility is intended for measuring high-precision optical components to accuracies better than 50th wave. Additionally, specialized software tools that measure irregularity for comparison to a Zernike fit specification are available to optical designers for measurement analysis.
Manufacturing the Future
At Optimax, we are manufacturing the future, creating the highest precision optics underlying high-tech systems in key markets and applications. We offer rapid and expedited delivery upon request and are committed to our customers in the long term.
