Description
Thorlabs Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor
The Thorlabs Shack-Hartmann Wavefront sensor is an indispensable tool for
detection and optimization of wavefront distortions that would otherwise impact
the beam's focusability and the image definition within an imaging system. It is an
economically priced instrument designed for general lab use and production floor
testing.
The WFS150 series of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors provide accurate,
high-speed measurements of the wavefront shape and intensity distribution of
beams. This is done by analyzing the location and intensity of spots (spotfield)
formed by imaging a beam of light onto a CCD array with a microlens array as
shown in the figure below. With Thorlabs' Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor it is
possible to optimize dynamically the wavefronts of laser sources, characterize the
wavefront distortion caused by optical components, and provide real-time
feedback for the control of adaptive optics.
The sensor operation confirms to
International Standard ISO 15367:
"Laser and laser-related equipment - Test methods
for determination of the shape of a laser beam wavefront"
