One of the world's leading manufacturers of wave analyzers and adaptive optics, the French company Imagine Optic, has launched two new products - a new generation of compact Shack-Hartmann wave analyzers for high-speed measurement and correction of waveforms HASO4 Fast with a scanning frequency of up to 1 kHz and a high-performance wave sensor calibrated for measurements in the IR short wavelength range HASO SWIR.
Compared to its predecessor, the HASO3 Fast wavefront sensor, the latest model in the HASO family achieves data read rates of up to 1 kHz, making it currently the fastest wavefront sensor in Imagine Optic's product portfolio.
Key features of the HASO4 Fast include:
- 400 - 900 nm operating wavelength range
- Measurements for calculating up to 36 Zernike polynomials (at a maximum scan rate of 1 kHz)
- High repeatability λ/200 rms
- Simultaneous and independent phase and intensity measurements
- Sensor calibration in production with absolute measurement accuracy up to λ/100 rms
HASO SWIR is the ideal choice for those looking for a powerful wavefront sensor applicable for accurate wavefront measurements only in the IR short wavelength region (0.9 - 1.7 µm).
In addition to this type of wavefront sensor, Imagine Optic offers a range of other wavefront analyzers covering different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum - HASO4 VIS optimized for the 400 - 700 nm wavelength range, HASO4 NIR for 1500 - 1600 nm wavelengths, HASO EUV for beam characterization, alignment and alignment in the ultra-short wavelength region (4 - 45 nm) or the high-performance HASO4 Broadband wavefront sensor calibrated for the entire spectral range (400 - 1100 nm).
HASO SWIR and its main advantages:
- Wavefront measurement accuracy of approximately λ/100 rms over the wavelength range 0.9 - 1.7 µm.
- Data acquisition frequency up to 99 Hz
- Measurements for calculating up to 64 Zernike polynomials with individual accuracy better than 5 nm rms
- Simultaneous and independent phase and intensity measurements
- Optimization for polychromatic and monochromatic beams over a wide spectral range
