AVAILABLE IN SEVERAL WAVELENGTHS, VISIBLE AND INFRAREDThe Model 155irVIS is one of our new Phase-shifting Fizeau Interferometers that operates in two modes: Infrared or Visible—switch selectable. The instrument features a fused silica collimator and reference surface flat to 1/20 wave (measured at 632.8 nM).  Two separate lasers are employed – a stabilized diode laser operating at 1550 nM and a Helium-Neon laser operating at 632.8 nm.  Both sources are dithered to produce speckle-free live images on the computer monitor.  Two CCD cameras are used – one with a wavelength converting phosphor specially adapted for imaging at 1550 nM; the other is used for the visible.  Both cameras provide resolution of  768 x 494 pixels.

The Model 155irVIS utilizes piezo-electric phase shifters and Durango Universal Interferometry Software to allow the operator to achieve highly accurate and repeatable measurements at both infrared and visible wavelengths. In typical usage of a Dual Wavelength Interferometer, the operator can align his optical system and perform any necessary tip/tilt operations with the interferometer in VISIBLE MODE—greatly simplifying the procedure.  Measurement of reflective surfaces can also be measured at 632.8 nM – providing higher accuracy. 

Featuring Illumination control, zoom optics, piezo-electric phase shifter,  the Model 155irVIS is equipped with Durango Universal Interferometry Software, 3 GHz Pentium 4 Computer, and 19-inch TFT flat screen monitor.
