Trioptics Acquires µPhase from Fisba Optik

WEDEL, Germany, June 18, 2010 — Optical test equipment maker Trioptics GmbH announced it has acquired the µPhase product line of interferometers from Switzerland-based Fisba Optik AG, along with Fisba's Berlin-based business, Fisba Optik GmbH, effective June 30. Financial terms were not disclosed. Trioptics said the µPhase line complements its optical test equipment portfolio, which includes the TriAngle electronic autocollimator, OptiCentric cementing stations and WaveMaster wavefront sensors. Fisba will continue to produce uPhase's optical core components for Trioptics. As part of the deal, Fisba...Read full article

Glossary

autocollimator: An autocollimator is an optical instrument used for measuring small angular deviations with high precision. It operates on the principle of autocollimation, where a light source is directed onto a mirror surface, and the reflected light is observed and analyzed to determine the angular displacement of the mirror. autocollimator suppliers → The basic components of an autocollimator typically include: Light source: Autocollimators use a light source, often a lamp or a...
metrology: Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
phase: In optics and photonics, "phase" refers to a property of electromagnetic waves, such as light, that describes the position of a wave at a given point in time within its oscillation cycle. More specifically, it indicates the position of a wave relative to a reference point, typically the starting point of a cycle. When discussing phase in optics, it's often described in terms of the phase difference between two waves or the phase of a single wave. The phase difference between two waves is the...
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
