2D Birefringence Measurement System

WPA-300Series

Large birefringence measurement made possible by multiple – wavelength evaluation

Data measured at three different wavelengths

Data merged into one high-retardation data distribution

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. It is possible to convert small, minute changes in phase difference into clearer data.

WPA-micro

A series that expands the measurement range of phase difference from 0 to 3,500 nm by measuring the distribution of birefringence/phase difference over 3 waves. Predict with FOV of microscope. The included microscope can be selected either Olympus or Nikon.

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.

PA/WPA-NIR Series

By using the near-infrared band for the measurement wavelength, this system can measure birefringence/phase difference distribution even for materials that are opaque to the naked eye. Suitable for measurement targets that transmit near-infrared wavelengths, like chalcogenide lenses, LiDAR automotive components, etc.

WPA-200-MT

A series that expands the measurement range of phase difference from 0 to 3,500 nm by measuring the distribution of birefringence/phase difference over 3 waves. Separable light source which can be incorporated into inline and measurement stage.

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.
