Optical Testing
Optical testing is the measurement of the optical properties of materials. Measurement of optical properties like angle, refractive index, interferometry, and wavefront is critical in evaluating performance in lasers, lens, and other photonic systems.
Measurement of parameters like centration, alignment, center thickness, air gap, focal length, etc., has a significant bearing in the manufacturing, production, and quality control of lenses and optical systems. Optical testing of camera modules is essential in various industries and ranges from small cell phone cameras to high-speed video cameras. Analytical equipment manufacturers frequently utilize UV, IR, and other light components and rely on lens alignment and additional lens component testing.
Optical analytical techniques measure the optical properties of materials for characterization and testing. Some examples include Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Raman analysis (spectroscopy, microscopy, etc.), These techniques employ light at various wavelengths (UV, visible, IR radiation) to measure optical properties like diffraction, transmittance, absorbance, refraction, etc. to identify and characterize materials.
