Clear aperture up to 101.6 mm.

Zygo transmission-/reference flats (< λ/20@632.8 nm) for surface flatness (PV/power/irregularity/RMS), wavefront distortion and parallelism measurements.

Zygo f/0.75, f/1.5, f/3.3, f/10.7 transmission/reference spheres
(< λ/20@632.8 nm) and“Renishaw”guide rail (1500 mm) for radius metrology to test spherical surfaces for form irregularities, wavefront distortion, and Radius of Curvature with the radius of ±4 nm–±800 mm.

Eccentric measurement

Industry-standard single lens and bonded lens can be directly measured for eccentricity angle with high precision – with a vernier scale of 0.001mm, wide grid reading for large scale, achieving measurement accuracy of up to 5 seconds. It has a wide measurement range and can measure not only flat mirrors but also convex and concave lenses (including non-spherical ones).

Measurement – Suitable for measuring the coaxiality deviation between the optical lens spherical optical axis and the outer circle.

Bonding lens centering – Centering of two or more lenses bonded together.

Assembly eccentricity correction – Eccentricity correction during the assembly process of optical components.

Optical automatic centering bonding system

The fully automatic optical lens bonding system is specifically designed to achieve fully automatic lens bonding, with functions such as center deviation measurement, automatic adjustment alignment, and automatic bonding.

This system is based on the principle of “threading” and can be extended on any center deviation measuring instrument equipped with an air bearing turntable.

RF ion source and Application field cases

The coating system of Liwan Optics adopts an RF radio frequency ion source auxiliary system to prepare high loss threshold laser films and high stability films

High power lasers have a very high instantaneous power density and a small pulse width, causing damage and destruction to thin film components through nonlinear effects caused by strong electric fields. LIWANOPTICS avoids the increase of peak field strength and the generation of nodule defects through the high film-forming quality of RF ion sources and precise film thickness control.
