Distortion Mapping – An SVD HowTo
In this tech-talk, I would like to discuss how (and probably how not to) develop an optical distortion correction. It is a common optical problem, and one that actually can be compensated using an algorithm because, even if the image is distorted, it can still be free from wavefront aberrations. I guess the title spills…

The Challenge of Simplifying Precision
Introduction This tech-talk is about why simple isn’t always easy and what the Shack-Hartmann (SH) module in WaveMe must do to make life easy for you. In an earlier tech-talk, we elaborated on the calibration of SH sensors in general and, in the end, how and why we choose to do things differently in the…

Senslogic – Unleash the Power of the Cross-Over Expert
Why choose Senslogic? A very reasonable question indeed. There is no shortage of established companies offering customized services that can handle solutions which include software, hardware and optics. Senslogic is but one and much less known. We offer low overhead for projects that typically require a multidisciplinary team. Let me also explain why Senslogic offers…

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 this tech-talk, I’ll focus on a specific subset: those that achieve this using a pixelated, two-dimensional array. While this doesn’t cover all types of SLMs, it’s a sufficiently large and interesting category to…

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 evolving partnership that blossoms with investment and effort. At first maybe you noticed how simple and effortless WaveMe’s wavefront sensing was, but the real magic unfolds as you dive deeper, taking advantage of…
