PublicationsUltra-High Spatial Resolution
The Imagine Optic LIFT LP 512 is a cutting-edge wavefront sensor specifically designed for the precise characterization of large optical beams. Its defining characteristic is an ultra-high spatial resolution of 512×512, enabling exceptionally detailed and accurate wavefront measurements. This high resolution, coupled with a generous analysis pupil and superior accuracy, positions the LIFT LP 512 as an indispensable tool for advanced optical applications.
Central to the LIFT LP 512’s performance is Imagine Optic’s proprietary SpotTrackerâ„¢ technology. This innovative feature provides absolute wavefront and tilt information, which significantly streamlines the alignment process and expedites overall implementation by removing traditional alignment complexities. The LIFT LP 512 enhances metrology efficiency by facilitating direct beam characterization, eliminating the need for intermediary relay optics. This direct approach not only simplifies the setup but also boosts accuracy by mitigating additional aberrations and the necessity for specific setup calibration.
Software
The LIFT LP 512 wavefront sensor is fully compatible with Imagine Optic’s powerful software solutions, designed to maximize its analytical capabilities:
- WAVEVIEW™ Metrology Software: This advanced software boasts over 150 features and tools specifically optimized for comprehensive wavefront measurement and analysis. It is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 and includes extensive documentation and examples. Optional extensions are available for specialized analyses such as PSF (Point Spread Function), MTF (Modulation Transfer Function), M², Strehl ratio, and advanced Zernike coefficients (for annular or elliptical pupils). A Software Development Kit (SDK) is optionally available in C/C++, LabVIEW, and Python, enabling custom integrations and tailored data processing routines.
- WAVETUNEâ„¢ Adaptive Optics Software: WAVETUNEâ„¢ offers a unique solution by seamlessly integrating wavefront measurement and correction features with in-depth instrument diagnostics. It is fully compatible with Imagine Optic’s HASO wavefront sensors, ILAO STAR, MIRAO, and mu-DM deformable mirrors, as well as a wide range of third-party active components. An optional SDK is also provided for C/C++, LabVIEW, and Python for advanced customization.
