Exceptional accuracy and precision of our Wavefront Sensors

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 GPIxp 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
