Introduction to the Vortex Beam

Over 60 years ago, a scientific breakthrough was the catalyst for the discovery of the first laser. Since then, the use of laser devices has been growing in research applications, and in recent years, industrial and commercial applications have been utilizing this technology as well. Lately, that growth trend has rapidly increased thanks to laser … Continue reading

Measurements with a Laser Interferometer Made Easy!

To measure prisms and substrates with a laser interferometer, you are typically forced to paint or tape surfaces. Time is wasted, parts damaged, and accuracy degraded. Spectrally Controlled Interferometry (SCI) directly measures these parts down to 150 µm OPL ((or even 75 µm on special request). No taping, no painting…just measure. SCI is simply faster and more … Continue reading
