AccuFiz Series Fizeau interferometers - E100S and E150S models

from 4D Technology

Available with 4” or 6” aperture and stabilized laser sources to provide higher power and a longer coherence length, the AccuFiz E Fizeau interferometers, models E100S and E150S, come with the HeNe laser as standard in a full kit including the mainframe, the workstation and 4Sight advanced software for taking measurements and analyzing data.

The AccuFiz is a Fizeau interferometer extremely easy to use in confined lab spaces. Its compact, lightweight design is extremely rigid for maximum stability in any orientation or environment.

In production environments as well as in the lab the AccuFiz provides industry leading repeatability. Only AccuFiz includes Smart Zoom™ to ensure accurate lateral resolution over the entire 1X–10X zoom range.

On the shop floor or in a clean room, optional Dynamic Interferometry® enables exposure times down to 10 μs, so you can measure despite vibration, without isolation.

Further information

The AccuFiz allows you to adjust the diameter of the light source to minimize measurement artifacts such as diffraction rings while maintaining adequate fringe contrast.

A typical interferometer offers only point source illumination while the AccuFiz allows the source size to be adjusted continuously between point source and approximately 2mm. In general, a large source size will minimize measurement artifacts such as diffraction rings which may be caused by imperfections in the optical system (dust, pits) or stray reflections from optical surfaces. However, a larger source size will also reduce fringe contrast for large cavities. Therefore, any given test setup has an optimum source size to minimize artifacts while preserving the fringe contrast for a given cavity size.

Surface Isolation Source option

4D’s Surface Isolation Source is an optional, additional external short coherence laser source that excludes all but the surface of interest making straightforward to measure flat, transparent optics with physical thickness as small as 150 microns.

Plane-parallel optics are transparent components with parallel faces, or optical systems with two or more parallel surfaces. Measuring any one surface with an interferometer is extremely difficult or impossible, as all parallel surfaces contribute fringes to the interferogram.

The SIS module lets you measure both surfaces of a transparent optic with a standard AccuFiz interferometer. You can also calculate transmitted wavefront error, optical thickness and homogeneity, all from a single measurement setup.

The adjustable path match mechanism provides additional flexibility, letting the operator dial in any surface that is within 88 to 112 millimeters in front of the aperture.

The Surface Isolation Source is a 635-640 nm diode fiber-coupled to the AccuFiz interferometer.
