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. This is something I’ve done for a very long time and found very rewarding. Why – and – When First, we need to go back to why would you do it? Isn’t Zemax,…

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. Senslogic is an optics consulting company with extensive experience in software development and physical optics simulations. While much of the code we develop is proprietary, some of it is better suited for educational…

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…

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…

Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor Calibration in WaveMe
Calibration and Why it is Needed The WaveMe toolbox has a rather exceptional calibration method that allows for much more flexible use of the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. This tech talk will be about what it is and why it is different from what is available elsewhere. We will assume that you, the reader, are already…
