Fizeau-Phaseninterferometer

Components for optical systems (mirrors, lenses, gratings) and also entire optical systems are characterized by optical measurement methods (interferometry) without contact. The data obtained in this way can be fed back into the production process and enable targeted shape corrections in order to meet the constantly increasing requirements.

In order to meet the new machining center for excellent metal-based free-form optics up to 500mm diameter, which is to be established at the IOF, and to be able to meet the resulting requirements for measurement technology, a high-resolution interferometer measuring system with a free aperture of 150mm (6 inches) is to be procured and installed.

This measuring device and the associated measurement capabilities are essential to enable the development and consolidation of future and lead markets in the fields of lithography, aerospace, remote sensing and quantum optics.
