Our Wavefront Sensors vs. Interferometers

SpotOptics Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors results have been compared with results from the most popular interferometers : Zygo, Veeco, Fisba, 4D Technology

SpotOptics Optino vs. Zygo Interferometer

 

• A small area (7mm) of a hard-disk platter was tested using
  the Zygo GPI xp HR (high resolution) interferometer
• The same area was tested with our standard instrument Optino/Sensoft
• A high quality lambda/20 flat mirror was used for the calibration
• Both the tests were done in double pass at 632.8nm

SpotOptics Optino vs. Veeco Interferometer

 

•  A small area (9mm) of a flat mirror was tested using a high
  resolution Veeco interferometer
• The same area was tested with our standard instrument Optino/Sensoft mounting a cooled CCD camera
• Both the tests were done at 632.8nm

Results
The wavefront from Veeco (on left) and the wavefront as measured by Sensoft (right). A clear correspondence between the two is seen. The P-V measured on the surface is 14nm with rms 2nm
