  • The Challenge of Simplifying Precision

    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

    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…

  • When Optics Met WaveMe

    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

    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…

  • Analyzing Coupled Systems

    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 is one that we must get right before anything can be built because the critical components simply do not yet exist. It’s merely a figment of our imagination and it is actually part…

  • WaveMe for Optical Alignment: The BeamNotes Tool

    WaveMe for Optical Alignment: The BeamNotes Tool

    Introduction In the realm of optical engineering, achieving precise alignment between the optical elements within a system is crucial to ensuring optimal performance. This alignment is especially critical in compact optical systems like microscope lenses or other high-end optics. There are some well known brands here like Zeiss, Leica, Nikon or Tropel. They know what…
