FISBA develops and realizes solutions in the field of non-contact interferometry in close collaboration between its developers and customers. This demands a high degree of understanding of the different measuring tasks, user requests and market requirements in the design and production of user-dedi-cated systems and their supporting software products. The new µPhase FS 10 und FS 50 measurement stands developed by FISBA’s metrology Business Unit were designed tak-ing these factors into account. The new µPhase stands complement the ex-isting Phase 2 Digital Compact Interferome-ter, offering the necessary flexibility for deter-mining topographic surfaces of flat, spherical and aspherical components with or without CGHs and for measuring optical systems in transmission, focal length, as well as conduct-ing absolute and relative curvature measure-ments. The readout of the radius measure-ment data is now directly integrated in the measuring and analysis software µShape, immediately transmitting the data from the read out unit to the software and thereby en-suring a more reliable and speedier analysis of the measurement.

range of both stages, however, can be ex-panded for test samples up to 50 mm with the FS 10 and below 10 mm with the FS 50 upon customer request by employing addi-tional spherical objectives. The FS 10 is de-signed to be deployed for surface and basic transmission measurements only, whereas the FS 50 is equipped with a second stage, which enables measurements of optical sys-tems in double transmission and also allows the use of CGHs for surface measurements of aspheric components. Both stands are robust and versatile to be utilized for a variety of ap-plications in production, assembly, Q-man-agement or R&D.

In addition to the already existing range of digital cameras for the industrial and the medical image processing, VDS Vosskühler offers for the first time an infrared camera, model IRC-300, for 8–14 µm (LWIR).The IRC-300 camera is especially considered for applications in the automation, quality- and process control as well as for scientific research and development. The camera disposes of a maintenance-free, uncooled microbolometer detector, enabling to resolve temperature distinctions of 80 mK in an area from 20–150 °C @ F/1.0.At a frame rate of 50 Hz the camera delivers excellent, noise-free and high-resolution im-ages with 320x240 pixels.The IRC-300 camera is offered in two ver-sions:

1.) As OEM-Version “IRC-300CL“ the IRC-300 camera becomes equipped with the preprocessing module CPP-1000. Within the CPP-1000 all necessary correction functions are executed in real time. The “IRC-300CL“

disposes of a CameraLink-output (Base).2.) As System-Version “IRC-300IE“ VDS Vosskühler offers the IRC-300 camera with an IEEE1394 Interface module, power supply, cable and extensive Software. The Software is important for the display in Pseudo-Color, the storage and for the analysis of IR-images.

Optical Research Associates (ORA) is pleased to announce CODE V release 9.6, which delivers powerful new capabilities in optical system modeling, tolerancing, and optimization to this popular optical design and analysis software package. For example, the software now calculates the scalar diffrac-tion efficiency of a diffractive surface and in-cludes this in all diffraction analyses. This is particularly useful in the design of spectrom-eters and other grating systems, as well as for applications in aerospace and consumer products using kinoforms. CODE V 9.6 also improves the process of modeling complex optical systems with a new, simplified method for defining offset, tilted surfaces, and en-hanced capabilities for specifying user-pro-grammed surfaces and diffractive phase pro-files. In the area of tolerancing, CODE V 9.6 enhance-ments include a singular value decomposition algorithm that will automatically select the best subset of compensation parameters from a larger set of choices available to users. This will improve as-built performance during ac-tual assembly of optical systems. Also, toler-ancing data is now more readily exported to other software programs for manipulation and analysis. And, in terms of optimization, CODE V 9.6 capabilities have been extended with additional built-in constraint types, along with more flexibility for defining the optimization ray grid that will be a particular advantage for

the design of wide angle-of-view systems.CODE V is the industry’s leading software for the design, analysis, optimization and toler-ancing of image-forming and fiber optical systems. The CODE V software package com-prises support, training and regular updates. OEC AG develops high precision illumination and imaging systems from the concept to the final product. With optical free-form surfaces OEC AG accomplishs any desired light distri-bution and thus supports optical designers to develop highly efficient optical systems. Our services are complemented by distributing the high-end software products LightTools and CODE V of ORA in the German speak-

ing countries. Together with Optical Research Associates provide support and training for both programs.

The new Lambda SX 315C excimer laser from Coherent dramatically reduces costs while increasing yield and throughput for polysilicon annealing. This process is key to the production of high performance displays such as active matrix organic light emitting displays (AM OLED) and system on panel (SOP) devices. The laser’s high pulse energy (1050 mJ) enables a wide area to be processed with each pulse, and avoids the critical focus-ing issues that arise with lower pulse energy lasers. The laser packaging, footprint, and command set are identical to the industry standard LambdaSteel 2000, simplifying up-ward migration for systems integrators and end users.The new Lambda SX 315C laser is now the optimum laser for both methods, delivering key benefits to FPD manufacturers, includ-ing:

New excimer laser benefits flat panel display annealing

● Achieving high and uniform mobil-ity levels to minimize threshold voltage (Vth)variations of thin-film transistors (TFTs), enabling AM OLED mass produc-tion.

● Improved production yield through supe-rior laser performance and control.

● Smooth migration of established LTPS cir-cuitry designs.

● Higher pulse energies than competing lasers thereby avoiding critical focusing issues.

● A wider processing area with each laser pulse, thereby improving throughput.

● Longer component lifetimes resulting in a 20% reduction in cost of ownership.

RAYLASE delivers an answer based upon a new exclusive design of its highly regarded 3-Axis system AXIALSCAN. It is only one year ago that RAYLASE rocked the industrial boat by delivering 3-Axis sys-tems which produce tiny focussed spots whilst processing large fields. Customers are achieving results in less time without increas-ing laser power for more cost effective and efficient production of parts and less demand on the extraction of fumes. Now RAYLASE has made a quantum leap in speed. And this on two levels. Every AXIALSCAN is now available with the Linear Translator RLT-19. This innovative de-sign enables speed increases of more than 60%. This leads to processing speeds of over 16 m/sec in a field of 500 x 500 mm. Up to now, the speed barrier was around 10 m/sec. Overcoming this barrier with the 3-Axis Sys-tem was not possible with the existing designs of linear translators. RAYLASE has greatly im-proved this part of the subsystem so that the same focussing accuracy is achievable with the RLT-19 at much greater speeds.Not to be overtaken by this improvement of

speed, a second innovation was necessary – this time in head design. Enter the SUPER-SCAN-SC-30! RAYLASE has increased the deflection speed by 40% compared to exist-ing systems. The critical element for this new development is the deployment of ceramic mirrors. Stiffness paired with feather-light-ness enables very short acceleration times and thus high speeds.The superior performance of the SUPER-SCAN-SC-30 is apparent over the whole op-erating range of the AXIALSCAN although by

the processing of large objects, it is the Linear Translator which may limit the performance. It is in the processing of smaller objects that the SUPERSCAN-SC-30 really comes into its own as demonstrated by the execution of rapid jumps and the accurate processing of tight corners. Thus the SUPERSCAN-SC-30 is an extremely interesting product for high speed applica-tions including the processing of moving articles. RAYLASE recommends the fully in-tegrated solution of the AXIALSCAN sub-sys-tem.

Thorlabs’ new BP100 beam profiler se-ries is a full-featured, high precision instru-ment to analyze the power distribution of la-ser beams with a diameter range from 10 µm to 9 mm and a dynamic range of 72 dB. It covers a spectral range of 400 to 1800 nm and is available with Si and Ge sensors. De-signed as a single measurement head with a USB 2.0 interface, operation is easy and intui-tive. Only a standard PC with USB port is re-quired. The unit is provided with a powerful graphical user interface and a driver set.

FunctionalityTo determine the beam’s quality and spatial characteristics a narrow slit scans the beam at two orthogonal directions x and y which are manually set by the integrated rotation mount. The passing light is integrated by the detector and sampled. A wide range of power and beam diameters can be analyzed without the need of attenuators or lenses. All analyzed beam parameters like diameter, el-lipticity, location, centroid, 3D-profile and the beam power are calculated from the resulting power distributions for the x and y direction. Together with the 2D and 3D-plots a Gauss-ian fit of the scanned profiles is displayed.

Additional FeaturesA variable average function provides adjust-able noise reduction and increases the mea-surement accuracy. The maxima-hold func-tion allows analysis of pulsed laser sources. The automatic or manual gain control en-ables to adapt to different beam powers. The power meter readouts in mW or dBm can be calibrated. The provided GUI shows all pa-rameters as digital or bar-graph read-outs. Parameter drifts can be visualized by a trend indicator.

“Complete light measurement solu-tions“ is the fundamental idea behind every Gigahertz-Optik project and product. Based on this principle Gigahertz-Optik expands its product family with the new X4 Light Ana-lyzer – a high-precision instrument that com-bines traditional broadband integral radiom-etry/photometry with the latest spectral measurement techniques.Filter radiometers and photometers offer high sensitivity and large dynamic range plus sim-plicity and low cost. However measurement uncertainties of up to 30% can occur when testing quasi-monochromatic light sources, like LEDs, in the blue or red spectral range.On the other hand, current technology di-ode array based spectrometers can provide wavelength distribution information but do not offer the sensitivity of integral measure-ment devices for luminous flux or averaged LED intensity photometry.The X4 Light Analyzer offers on-line recording of spectral data and consequently an a(z) cor-rection of the integral measured values. This results in a photometric measurement error

of less than 2 %. CIE Color Coordinates x, y and u´, v´ are indicated with an accuracy of less than 0.005.An extensive program of add-on accessories, like integrating spheres, enables complete test and inspection stations, for LEDs and OLEDs for example, to be assembled. The windows

Semiconductors and MEMS are manu-factured on 150, 200 or 300 mm wafers. The wafers (silicon, saphire or glass) get by various etching, grinding or polishing steps a nearly perfect surface. The Total Thickness Variation (TTV) is of the order of several µm. Structures and devises are produced on those wafers by repeated structuring, etching and deposition processes. Each of those production steps in-fluences again the TTV. So, TTV is besides the surface structure the most important param-eter to be measured. The wafer inspection systems under use today are not able to mea-sure both, roughness and TTV, and suffer by poor resolution. For this application the surface metrology tool MicroProf TTV was developed by FRT GmbH in Germany. The system investigates the complete wafer surface and estimates TTV, bow or warp. Also high resolution to-pography, roughness or profiles for the whole surface can be performed. The optical sen-

Several types of oscillator designs are used in commercial lasers. Compared to other common designs, ScanMatePro consisting of a single grating (0.15 wavenumbers resolu-tion) can provide a much wider tuning range and lower ASE (amplified spontaneous emis-sion) as embodied in the Coherent Lambda Physik ScanMatePro series of lasers. Two innovations enable switching to mid and very high resolution, while maintaining the low ASE as well as the full grating tuning range.

Intermediate resolution scanning at 0.08 wavenumbersThe IB (Intermediate Bandwidth) optic is a narrow, wedge shaped optical element. One face of this optic has a unique coating pat-tern. On either side of the centerline, the two halves of this face are coated with a broad-band high reflective coating and a broadband anti-reflection coating. When this is placed in the dye laser oscillator, the light beam from the dye cell is deflected as it passes through the transmissive portion of the optic. After

bouncing off the grating, it then hits the reflective part at normal in-cidence and retraces its path back to the dye cell. The oscillator thus acts as though it has two gratings instead of one, lowering the line-width. Moreover, the optic requires virtually no alignment, and once inserted, no further adjustment is necessary during scan-ning, even when switching to another dye.

High-resolution scanning at 0.03 wave-numbersAlternatively, a ICE (intracavity etalon) can be inserted in the ScanMatePro oscillator for a linewidth of only 0.03 cm–1. But unlike ear-lier laser models, etalon scanning is now fully automated and coordinated by the on-board computer, so the scanning appears continu-ous and seamless even at this resolution.

Toptica introduces HUSKY test drives for next generation optical data storage.

Test requirements in BD/HD productionThe new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats open the track to the third generation optical data storage, which will offer the necessary storage capacity and data transfer rate to the future HD TV and HD video.These new formats are based upon even smaller data structures and new optical disc setups. For these discs read-out margins and tolerances are becoming more complex and substantially tighter. As consequence testing and quality control during production will get more important than ever.Macroscopic defects like tilt, sputter varia-tions, layer thickness or bubbles in the disc can be analyzed by a variety of in-line inspection methods. The microscopic bit structure how-ever, which varies due to the wear-out of the stamper or an unsufficient forming of the bit structure during molding can only be analyzed by opto-electrical reference test systems.The challenge of these test systems is to guar-antee that all signal errors measured are 100% caused by the disc and are not influenced by an imperfect or non-standard performance of the drive. Hence commercial mass-produced drives, which try to compensate quality varia-tions of cost-effective pickups by powerful er-ror correction algorithms, cannot be used for reference testing.

HUSKY – The first reference drive for Blu-ray & HD DVDThe Husky reference drive was developed and is produced by TOPTICA. It is designed as a barebone solution that is ideally suited for in-tegration into test equipment.

The optical, mechanical and electronic setup strictly follows the specifications in the stan-dard books of the various formats, whereas all components – even the pickup – are man-ufactured by TOPTICA. This ensures a long term product comparability. The platform-like product design ensures the quick adaption to new upcoming format vari-ations at low R&D and manufacturing costs.The very rugged mechanical setup together with the specially developed high precision spindle motor guarantees an excellent posi-tioning accuracy in the µm regime.The optical pick-up-head made from stain-less steel is equipped either with an NA=0.65 lens system for HD DVD or an NA=0.85 lens system for Blu-ray discs. A range of optical adjustments like automatic tilt correction and SA compensation ensure a lowest jitter optical read-out of the disc structure. Stable servos are guaranteed by astigmatic focusing and push-pull-tracking.The signal is analyzed by a latest generation quad detector suited for violet wavelengths, providing the customer the 5 different analog optical signals (A,B,C,D, Sum). The complete board of signals includes other direct analog signals (e.g. focus error, track error, tangential push pull) as well as digitally processed ana-log signals (e.g. equalized HF, DPD). A range of RS232 commands and a basic software called “Drive Tamer” gives access to all basic operational disc parameters. Hence test equipment manufacturers can easily integrate the Husky into their testers and analyze the analog output with their sys-tem software. Testing speed presently is 1X. Higher testing speeds are expected in near future.Suited disc formats currently include BD-RE,

BD-ROM and HD DVD-ROM (single and dual layer). Further formats are coming soon as the standards are finalized.TOPTICA president Dr. Thomas Weber: “ The new reference drive Husky was accepted by the market very quickly. We can report orders in larger quantities from multiple test equip-ment manufacturers and firmly believe that the Husky drive will soon set the standard in blue reference testing. We are the first to the market and enjoy strong support by the lead-ing forces in this industry.”

A Passion for PrecisionTOPTICA has a detailed experience on diode based laser systems with highest precision requirements. In the field of optical data stor-age a range of products has been developed and sold successfully since 1998: e.g. for R&D laboratories a static tester is available under the product name “MediaTest-I” (in coopera-tion with Prof. Masud Mansuripur, University of Tucson / Arizona).

FEMTO Messtechnik GmbH offers the variable gain transimpedance amplifier DH-PCA-100 which is ideal for amplifying the photo current of fast photodiodes. It offers a maximum bandwidth of 200 MHz equiva-lent to a rise time of 1.8 ns. The gain is adjust-able from 102 to 108 V/A allowing the mea-surement of currents in the sub-nano to milli-Ampere range. An adjustable voltage supply is provided as bias for external photo-diodes. The signal path is DC coupled to avoid signal undershoots when measuring pulses and transients with long decay times. For ap-plications where only AC signals are of inter-est the DHPCA-100 can also be AC coupled and any DC background signals will be fil-tered out. An integrated offset control is use-ful for adjusting the baseline or subtracting photodiode dark currents. With the built-in adjustable signal filter the amplifier can be adopted to various applications and measure-ment requirements. In addition to the manual control of all functions directly at the device an integrated, opto-isolated digital interface allows for remote control by PC or external electronics. The amplifier comes in a very compact and rugged metal housing which is

High power industrial lasers which re-place conventional welding and cutting tech-nologies in manufacturing are highly produc-tive but also expensive. Regularly checking and defining the quality of the laser beam and following up the causes for any deteriorations of quality are essential to maintain process quality and availability. Initially only the qual-ity of the laser at its sharp working end i.e. in the focus is of interest. Once deteriorations in the focused beam are detected the sources of the deteriorations should be determined by following the fault by measurements else-where along the optical path in the unfo-cussed beam. True and unadulterated mea-surements of the focus region and the definition of the working beams quality can only be attained through direct measurement around the focused beam.PROMETEC offers the universal laser beam measurement unit LASERSCOPE UFF100 which fulfills the above mentioned tasks and requirements. UFF100 enables the measure-ment of focused as well as unfocussed CO2, Nd:YAG and fiber laser radiation. The measur-
