Description

Providing outstanding performance, the HASO FAST wavefront sensor is recommended for optical metrology, that needs high speed and high wavefront measurement accuracy, adaptive optics and free-space communication.

We offer a unique combination of expertise in high quality microlens production, software development and accurate wavefront sensor calibration at factory. This allows the HASO4 FAST to provide an unprecedented level of performance.

Ideal for measurements of fast changes in wavefronts, the HASO FAST Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor, with a frame rate of 1 kHz, responds to all demanding applications.

This instrument is compatible with the Optical Engineer Companion metrology system.
