About This Product
■Building success… Zygo’s new Qualifire™ laser interferometer
For more than 50 years, phase-shifting interferometry has been the technology of choice for high-precision surface profile measurement. These interferometers provide fast and reliable measurements of surface profile errors and transmitted wavefronts in optical components and system assemblies. From research environments to wide-ranging industrial applications, laser interferometers provide a high level of data traceability for quality assurance and post-production analysis.
Laser interferometers have become an integral part of the manufacturing process. ZYGO's Qualifire™ represents a breakthrough in laser interferometers by providing a solution to known challenges in this type of equipment.
■New approach to phase shift interferometer
The Fizeau design, common for optical metrology in many modern systems, uses a coherent point source on a fixed axis to create an interferometer cavity. In many cases this works very well and while phase shifting and fixed illumination remain the gold standard, ZYGO is always looking for improvements and with new flying spot options. We pursued the benefits of dynamic lighting.
The Qualifire™ Laser Interferometer features many novel new features.
・Coherent artifact reduction
・Plano cavity autofocus
・Stable zoom
・Smart accessories
■Qualifire™—High functionality in a streamlined design
Qualifire™ is available in a 4-inch caliber and the smallest 6-inch caliber in its class. Some Qualifire™ versions weigh less than 23 kg (50 lbs), making them very easy to transport. Another weight and size advantage is the integrated phase measurement receptacle (PMR). This eliminates the possibility of damaging the PZT stack within the PMR when moving the unit.
Other improvements include an easy-to-grip handle and a convenient, easy-to-access on/off switch. Additionally, the sealed optics provide added protection against dust that can accumulate over time and cause system artifacts. This layout also facilitates maintenance and inspection. The laser can be replaced without affecting the optical components.
