Optical Metrology


Lambda Photometrics offer a wide range of Optical Metrology Instruments including Shack-Hartmann wavefront aberrometers, White-light Phase Shifting Interferometers and Fizeau interferometers. These instruments are utilised in range of applications, including UV-VIS-IR optics testing, Contact Lens and Intra-Ocular Lens testing and Micro-optics testing.

Wavefront Sciences CLAS-2D Aberrometer

The CLAS-2D is a complete light analysis system (hence the name), which can be considered as a replacement for intereferometers in optical testing applications. CLAS-2D simultaneously measures the phase and intesity of the transmitted or reflected white light or laser light, to provide wavefront aberration coefficients. The flexibility of the system ensures it can measure flats, spheres, concave/convex mirrors & lenses, and negative and positive lenses. Two sensors are available to cover either UV-VIS or IR wavelengths. High performance optoins are available for even greater sensitivity.

  • CLAS-2D for UV-VIS optics (300nm to 1100nm)
  • CLAS-IR for IR optics (1.1um to 1.7um)
  • 30-120λ dynamic range
  • »λ /150 sensitivity
  • Transmissive or reflective measuements
  • Measurement of flat, spherical, negative & positive optics
  • High Performance option for better dynamic range & spatial resolution



Wavefront Sciences ClearWave Contact Lens Aberrometer

The ClearWave Contact Lens Aberrometer provides superior metrology of contact lenses. Vision correction optics must be produced in large quantities to be economical. At the same time, every human eye is unique and requires a custom corrective solution. The vision industry needs fast, versatile, and accurate methods to characterize optics for production and research. Now, with ClearWave contact lens manufacturers can perform fast and accurate screening of all contact lens types. Quality control screening is faster and has higher resolution than ever before.

  • Measures over 8000 points across a contact lens at a spacing of 0.09mm
  • Fast and accurate screening of standard, multi-focal, and custom lenses
  • Screening of soft, hard, and RGP contacts for defective optics and aberrations
  • Transmissive testing of optics <12 diopters (preliminary)


Wavefront Sciences CrystalWave IOL Aberrometer

The CrystalWave Aberrometer provides superior metrology for Intra-Ocular Lenses. Because of the in vivo nature of the technique, IOL’s must be subject to intensive, individual inspection before implantation. CrystalWave provides the ability to thoroughly inspect the optical characteristics of IOL’s while simultaneously increasing product throughput. Previous methods for measuring and inspecting these devices required highly trained technicians to manually evaluate each lens. With CrystalWave, the IOL can be measured and evaluated quantitatively and consistently at high production rates.

  • High-resolution measurement at a spacing over the IOL of 0.18mm
  • 0.03 diopter absolute accuracy
  • <0.02 diopter repeatability
  • 30 to 140mm focal length range (in H20)
