The Big Picture About Senslogic
This blog dives deep into the philosophy of Senslogic and what we are trying to accomplish accomplish, and how the WaveMe toolbox fits into this picture.
Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor Calibration in WaveMe
Describing the novel approach to calibration used in the WaveMe Shack-Hartmann module that enables point-and-shoot approach to wavefront metrology.
Analyzing Coupled Systems
This blog post discusses how to analyze optical systems when its parameters cannot be treated independently.
Designing a point diffraction interferometer
This tech talk goes into the details of designing and using a phase-shifting point diffraction interferometer. This is an easy to build and insensitive high-accuracy tool that removes all guess-work from understanding the optical performance of any high-end optical projection system.
WaveMe for Optical Alignment: The BeamNotes Tool
WIth the BeamNotes and WaveMe Toolbox , the days of alignment targets and business cards is over. And let’s face it, we are all human in the lab and factory floor, and optical engineering is unforgiving. The BeamNotes tools supports topics ranging from ERP integration to coffee breaks, to keep you on track and on target, actaully without any alignment targets. Curious? Have a look.
REALHOLO - MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE
RealHolo is an EU-funded project aiming to produce a reflective, micro-mirror array, spatial light modulator with the aim to “pave the way for mainstream mixed reality environments”. There is however much more in the possible future of this device.
WaveMe's Evolution: Harnessing Tools and Techniques for Peak Performance
Dive into WaveMe's transformative journey, where cutting-edge tools like Valgrind meet astute optimization strategies, all to ensure peak performance. Discover how WaveMe strikes the balance between powerful functionalities and compatibility with everyday lab computers. A tale of technical evolution awaits.
Introduction to Goodman’s Graphical Methods
Goodmans graphical methods offer an intuitive insight into the physical optics of partially coherent imaging, which is otherwise left to computer simulations. This Introduction will make the reader comfortable with the formalism and hight perhaps one of the most basic difference between incoherent and partially coherent imaging.
WaveMe Toolbox: The Phase-shifting and Trigger Tools
Phase-shifting Capabilities of the WaveMe Toolbox
Spatial Light Modulators
The spatial light modulator is the heart of any digital scanner. This tech talk delves into the various aspects of spatial light modulators and why it is not all about the number of pixels or frames per second. Find out why the details matter.
The Challenge with Optical System Design
Is this the right base for your system?
Sometimes, the Zernike set is not the most efficient to describe an optical system, even when the pupil is a circle. There is a way to find out.
Boötes void - No, this is not about astronomy
The singular value decomposition is probably the most under-used method in engineering and deserves a place right up there with the Fast Fourier Transform.
Point Diffraction Interferometer
The point-diffraction phase-shifting interferometer is perhaps the most accurate instrument that can be made and adapted to imaging systems.
Coherence
Coherence is the basis of all optics but when we want to have it “our own way” we often make it periodic
Wavefront metrology
Wavefront metrology and phase-shifting interferometry will take the guessing out of your optical systems.
Optical system design
Optical system design probably means different things depending on who you ask. If you ask me, it is more of a process than a task. A process is something you would continuously execute, feeding insights back to the different stages of development. A task would be something like developing a specific system or module to meet specific requirements.
