11 Shearing Interferometer! Outstanding value for money The laser beam is reflected from both the front and rear surfaces of the wedge-shaped shear plate in the interferometer, and the reflections made to overlap. The overlap region is imaged on the interferometer s diffusor plate for easy viewing. If the resulting interference fringe is parallel to the reference line on the diffusor plate, the laser beam or optical system being tested is already adjusted to collimation. If the expansion system focuses the laser beam positively or negatively, the interference fringe is rotated clockwise or counter clockwise accordingly. The radius of curvature, R, of the wave front can be determined through quantitative analysis of the interferogram. The divergence, DIV, of the laser beam can be quantified by simply dividing the beam diameter, d beam by the radius of curvature of the wave front, R. For fast determination of laser collimation Other applications: - Determination of refractive index of plane plates (accuracy ±1 * 10-3) - Determination of focal lengths of lenses (accuracy ±3 %) - Determination of radius of curvature of concave and convex mirrors (accuracy ±3 %) Three versions available for beam diameters between 1 mm and 25 mm Compatible with LINOS Microbench, Nanobench, and Tube C systems Robust and easy to use Wavelength range nm Beam entrance height: 20 mm Dimensions, LxBxH (mm): 46x40x40 Optics 11 Interference pattern of a collimated laser beam S A closer look The detailed operating manual is available for download in our Q-Shop at Φ d f S df R = λ sin Φ d DIV = R Strahl Shearing Interferometer Product Description Ø (mm) Wedge angle γ Thickness t (mm) Collimation accuracy (µrad) Refractive Index Shear cube 1-3 mm 12.7 (120±15) nm G Shear cube 3-8 mm 22.4 (45±5) nm G Shear cube 8-25 mm 40 (16±2) nm G To see our entire range of products, get the LINOS catalog or visit

26 Optical Tables, 730 Series Specially developed for use in high vacuum The requirement The application 26 Vacuum compatible CleanTop table in the 730 series (1200 x 2400 x 200 mm3) with vent holes Vacuum compatible optical table from TMC in the vacuum chamber at the University of Texas (Photographs reprinted by kind permission of the High Intensity Laser Science Group (home of the Texas petawatt laser) at the University of Texas, Austin) Up to now it has been extremely difficult to construct optical table tops with steel honeycomb cores in such a way that they were suitable for use in vacuum chambers. This meant having to forego the main advantages of these table tops: rigidity, smoothness and damping. The only option has been to use bakeable, vacuum compatible constructions made of aluminum and steel. The development Our system partner, TMC, has solved the problem: The field-proven CleanTop design, modified with new, patented design characteristics, in combination with special cleaning techniques. And now they have developed a procedure for creating the vacuum as well. The result A level of vacuum compatibility never before attained by optical tables. A cooperative effort between TMC and engineers at the Petawatt Laser project at the University of Texas has produced a technique for creating a vacuum. With this new design, using a special steel honeycomb core, the engineers at the University of Texas have created a vacuum of 1.1 x 10-9 bar. The TMC table with a length of 4.2 m was positioned in the vacuum chamber. The experience It was shown that these table tops are not only vacuum compatible, but also have a very low outgassing rate. This is imperative, as major contamination would damage the optics involved. The outgassing of the optical tables used for the petawatt laser application resulted in minimal loss less than 0.1% during the transmission of the test optics. Feel free to contact us Selection guide US: EU: Asia: For more details see page 50 The range of vacuum compatible worktops extends from small breadboards to large optical tables, up to a maximum size of 1500 mm x 4800 mm.

48 Shack-Hartmann Sensor SHSLab 48! The purpose sensor! Whether for characterization of lasers, checking and adjusting optics, or for adaptive optics applications the SHSLab is the right choice. Due to their technical principle, Shack- Hartmann sensors measure wavefronts without the need for a simultaneously present reference wavefront. This is an advantage over interferometry where special precautions concerning stability and coherence of both the measured and the reference wavefront are neccessary. Shack- Hartmann sensors work in single shot technique and thus enable fast and rugged operation: Single shot High inherent stability Broad spectral range High dynamic range High accuracy SHSLab = SHSCam + SHSWorks The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor system SHSLab is a unique tool for Characterizing lasers Testing optics Aligning optical systems Adaptive optics applications No matter if the wavefront under investigation is aberrated by refraction, reflection or diffraction, SHSLab provides a fast and accurate answer by means of adequate evaluation functions. SHSLab is widely used in optical and laser industry and in research and development. It features several unique properties that are based on finest hardware components and thorough software engineering. The SHSCam sensor head consists of a camera, microlenses and cabling and provides the technical basis for high dynamics and accuracy of wavefront measurements. SHSWorks is a comprehensive metrology software package which covers nearly every functionality one could desire in daily metrology business. How does SHSLab work? The Shack-Hartmann sensor head SHSCam uses a microlens array to transform the local slope of the wavefront into shifts of an array of focal spots. From the detected position and intensity of the spots, the wavefront is derived. Thereafter, SHSWorks allows for various advanced evaluations: special representations such as Zernike polynomials, optical functions such as the point-spread- (PSF) or the modulationtransfer- function (MTF) or integral numbers such as wavefront tilt, refractive power, M² or the common Strehl ratio can be calculated. Why SHSLab? Optocraft s SHSLab exhausts the potential of the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor technology. SHSLab offers extreme dynamic range, excellent accuracy, stability and reliability.
