(PHASICS: Palaiseau, France) -- PHASICS manufactures high-resolution wave front sensors and associated devices and software for laser characterization and optical metrology. The company will present KaleoMatic, a new solution for automated and precise optics characterization at Photonics West 2010 in San Francisco, California, Jan. 26–28, on the French Pavilion at booth No. 1823. Within a few seconds, most of the optics parameters (including focal length, MTF, aberrations, surface quality, and radius of curvature) are automatically determined.

KaleoMatic is a cost-effective tool for fast and accurate lens characterization. Benefiting from PHASICS’ wave front sensors and metrology techniques, automatic measurements are highly reproducible and accurate. KaleoMatic addresses the needs in research and development laboratories as well as in any production line. Whether testing manufactured optics or outside-supplier optics, no optical laboratory is required to check the component’s quality—all is achieved on-premises with the KaleoMatic.
