Advantages

The SSI^® provides a breakthrough technology, enabling the automatic capture of precise metrology data for large (up to 200mm in diameter) and/or strongly curved (concave and convex) parts. The SSI will redefine optics manufacturing, providing several advantages over conventional technologies:

• Automatic, user-friendly software interface
• Repeatable and reproducible measurements
• Automatic calibration for system errors
• An accuracy diagnostic on its final results
• Capability of measuring large-CA and high-NA parts
• Ability to test larger aspheric departure than its integrated interferometer
• Resolution improvement and a potential increase in accuracy over traditional full-aperture instruments
