Near Infra-Red (NIR) 2D Birefringence Measurement System

PA/WPA-NIR Series

PA-300-NIR

WPA-200-NIR

PA-300-NIR uses 850 nm in the near-infrared band for the measurement of wave length, the distribution of birefringence/phase difference can be measured at high speed with 5 Megapixels resolution even for materials that are opaque to the naked eye. This equipment is targeted for low phases with a measurement range of 0 to 213 nm.
Suitable for measuring targets that make near-infrared wave lengths transparent like chalcogenide lenses.

WPA-200-NIR uses three wavelengths in the near-infrared band for the measurement wavelengths, and the birefringence of the measurement target transmitting near-infrared wavelengths can be measured.
Suitable for measuring targets that make near-infrared wave lengths transparent like LiDAR automotive components, etc.

Case study measuring chalcogenide lenses

Chalcogenide lenses(Visible light is not transmitted and appears black).

Distortion in the lens could be measured as phase difference.

Case study of measuring a cover for LiDAR laser scanner

Cover for LiDAR laser scanner

Weld lines that occur at the confluence of resin in injection molding were measured.

Real-time view also allows you to check the distribution of strain inside the resin while moving the part.

PA Series PA-micro / PA-micro-S

This equipment measures birefringence and phase difference with high resolution of 5 million pixels at high speed, for low phase difference with a measurement range of 0 to 130 nm. A type that can measure birefringence with microscope FOV. The included microscope can be selected either Olympus or Nikon

WPA-300Series

The WPA-300 series provides sharper measurement by increasing the resolution of the polarization image sensor up to 5 times, while maintaining the large phase difference measurement performance of the WPA-200 series.

VR lens evaluation system VRG-100

VPG-100 is a dedicated device for evaluating VR-related materials.
It is suitable for quality evaluation of lenses for VR.

WPA-KAMAKIRI

This product is very effective if evaluation with high spatial resolution is essential.With the WPA series, it is possible to measure a phase difference of about 3000 nm by selecting three different wave lengths and comparing and calculating the phase difference at each wave length.

Birefringence & Stress Strain Measurement

We have improved conventional birefringence measurement from point measurement to 2-D surface measurement. High-speed, high-precision birefringence measurement contributes to quality evaluation and functional improvement of optical materials.
