Non-contact Measurement with a White Light Interferomete

Date Announced: 09 Mar 2015

We Know the Surface Accuracy of a Substrate

Substrates with a good surface quality are required to produce high quality laser optics. The surface roughness for laser optics should, therefore, be inspected.

These measurements are performed at LASER COMPONENTS with a white light interferometer. White light interferometry is a non-contact optical measurement method which uses the interference of broadband light to measure the three-dimensional structure of a surface. The measurement accuracy is

All of the lenses produced in house, as well as substrates produced externally, can be tested using this new technology. This extra quality control means that our customers can be sure that they always receive high quality optics.

The surface roughness can be documented as necessary for applications that require “super-polished” optics.

We randomly select substrates for routine measurements; in special applications they are always performed and can be documented for customers on request.

By measuring the micro-roughness of the substrate’s surfaces, we are able to ensure that the quality of the optics used by us is consistently high.
