Imagine Optic HASO SWIR FAST Wavefront Sensor

The HASO SWIR FAST is a high-speed wavefront sensor designed for demanding applications requiring accurate measurements in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectrum. It boasts a high frame rate, large wavefront measurement dynamic, and internal calibration for simplified integration. Ideal for adaptive optics in free space optical communication, quantum key distribution, and atmospheric turbulence characterisation, the HASO SWIR FAST delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

Features:

• Direct wavefront acquisition of converging and diverging F/5 beams with an accuracy of λ/100 RMS including astigmatism and high-order aberrations

• Perfect knowledge of the measurement time by using the external trigger feature

• Latency optimised to less than 1 ms, including wavefront measurement, allowing high performance adaptive optics

• Only 0.2nW power level needed on the sensor to acquire the wavefront with an accuracy of 30 ns RMS at 4 kHz

• Patented technology for simultaneous and independent measurements of phase and intensity : no bias in presence of strong scintillations

Applications:

• Adaptive Optics for Free Space Optics (Satellite Communication or horizontal path communication).

• Adaptive Optics for Quantum Key Distribution.

• High speed SWIR atmospheric turbulence characterisation.
