Why WaveMe Looking for a solution that involves a vision camera? Want a high-performance application that lets you call the shots? Then…

System Integrator’s Dilemma

This Tech-Talk is about technology development in general, but perhaps more specifically, incremental technology development. It is obviously influenced by my own…

Can AI Do Your Code?

I guess I am on a mission, a mission to moderate the awe people seem to be struck with related to AI.Since…

Physical Modeling and OSS

Introduction Wtih this tech talk, I would like to offer some perspective on building a physical modeling framework with Open Source Software.…

Open-Source & Gitlab Access

Open Tools for the WaveMe Ecosystem Starting today, we are moving WaveMe templates and all open-source code to a self-hosted Gitlab environment.…

HowTo: Spatial Light Modulators

About This Tech-Talk Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are active optical components that can alter a light beam’s amplitude, phase, or polarization. For…

When Optics Met WaveMe

Much like “When Harry Met Sally”, discovering the depths of their relationship over time, integrating WaveMe into your lab toolbox is an…

Analyzing Coupled Systems

Designing new optical systems from the ground up can be an intimidating task, especially if the system we are trying to make…

RealHolo – More than Meets the Eye

RealHolo is an EU-funded project aiming to produce a reflective, micro-mirror array, spatial light modulator with the aim to “pave the way…

Spatial Light Modulators

One of the more complex photonic devices one will encounter as an optical engineer is the spatial light modulator. This is a…

Point Diffraction Interferometer

The Smartt interferometer or its evolution, the Phase-shifting point diffraction interferometer is probably the most accurate one can make, and it is…

Coherence

Coherence is perhaps the most interesting property of light and arguably, the effects of interference are at the core of what we…

Wavefront Metrology

Optical wavefront measurement, or wavefront metrology, is a big subject. In this tech talk, we will focus on two topics which could…

Optical System Design

The meaning of optical system design varies depending on whom you ask. In my view, it’s more of an ongoing process than…
