Optical Assemblies Testing and Environmental Validation
High-quality prototyping require rigorous optical, mechanical and environmental testing. We perform a majority of our testing in-house to ensure schedule and reliability. Our team is equipped to conduct:
Optical Testing
|
Parameters
|
|
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) Testing
|
Measures spatial resolution and contrast of an optical system
|
|
Wavefront Error Analysis
|
Assesses optical aberrations using interferometry or wavefront sensors
|
|
Stray Light Testing
|
Evaluates unwanted light scattering and its impact on system contrast
|
|
Field of View (FOV) Testing
|
Ensures correct alignment and calibration for the intended field of view
|
|
Chromatic Aberration Testing
|
Measures wavelength-dependent image distortions.
|
|
Distortion Testing
|
