Optical Monitoring System

SpectraLock Optical Monitoring System
Eddy Company (Apple Valley, CA)

The SpectraLock Optical Monitoring System from Eddy Company (Apple Valley, CA) provides in-situ monitoring and deposition rate control to produce single- and multi-layered thin films with exacting accuracy, time after time, without iteration or error. Eddy Company's advanced system produces optical coatings to the precise specifications of the original optical design because of its index dispersion enhanced optical monitoring (IDEM) features. Using SpectraLock, a single test run can confirm that the coating matches its design, instead of the traditional method of performing multiple test runs until a coating iteration comes close to matching the design.

Smart Line Scan Camera

RazerCam LS
EVT Eye Vision Technology (Karlsruhe, Germany)

The RazerCam LS from EVT Eye Vision Technology (Karlsruhe, Germany) is a smart line scan camera that is freely programmable under Linux OS. High data rates are supported by a powerful FPGA and the camera is optimized for high computing power and fast frame rates.

Resolutions of 2048 pixels with a line rate of up to 47 kHz can be reached. The whole application can be executed in the smart line scan camera RazerCam Z. The FPGA helps, in cases where the evaluation is getting complex. The evaluation is running only on the line scan camera and can be connected to the PC via remote access. The processor is based on the Xilinx Zynq (SoM) and transfers data at 400 MB per second between the programmable FPGA and the memory (RAM). In addition the camera has 4 inputs and 4 outputs as well as Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Linear Measurement System

OptiCentric® Linear
TRIOPTICS (Wedel, Germany)

For two decades, the OptiCentric® measurement systems manufactured by TRIOPTICS (Wedel, Germany) required that the samples be measured on a precision rotation bearing. The use of such a rotation bearing typically necessitates a vertical measurement arrangement. Faced with this challenge, engineers at TRIOPTICS have now developed a centration inspection process that can perform a centration measurement without rotation and regardless of the sample position.

Called OptiCentric® Linear, the special feature of this inspection method lies in its use of the linear path of motion of the autocollimator focus – not the rotation axis – as the reference axis for measurement. The positions of the sample's centers of curvature are measured in relation to this focal position, making it possible to achieve accuracies of ≤ 1 micron during centration error measurement. This makes the orientation of the measurement setup freely selectable, and it can also be horizontal. The lack of rotation ensures the required speed for performing quality inspections in volume production.

Integrating Sphere Source

ISS-50-LU-FE Integrating Sphere Source
Gigahertz-Optik (Amesbury, MA)

Fisheye lenses are used on cameras to create a hemispherical (panoramic) photographic image over a very wide angle >180°. Since these cameras map a hemispherical image in front of the objective lens on the image plane, reference calibration light sources with a hemispherical illumination field over this wide area are required for testing and matching uniformity.

Gigahertz-Optik's (Amesbury, MA) ISS-50-LU-FE Integrating Sphere Source provides a highly homogeneous luminance distribution and enables white balancing with three different light spectra adapted to different lighting conditions to suit the intended applications. Gigahertz-Optik's SC-05 System Controller with touch-screen display powers and controls the ISS-50-LU-FE using electronic modules that are specifically designed to meet the requirements of the uniform light source, its three lamps, the interchangeable filter wheel, variable apertures, and the RGB monitor detector.
