About This Webinar
As optical systems evolve toward greater design complexity, the demand for precise, reliable metrology continues to grow. Vibration-insensitive interferometry is emerging as a critical enabler for advancing the fabrication and integration of next-generation components. This technique supports high-precision measurement of aspheres, freeform optics, and infrared (IR) components, extending capability into new wavelength regions while accommodating the industry’s shift toward smaller, more integrated optical elements.
Beyond measurement accuracy, vibration-insensitive interferometry enables in situ assessments directly within machining environments, streamlining production workflows and enhancing quality control. Attendees will discover how this approach is transforming optical metrology, bringing precision and flexibility to the production line and helping manufacturers keep pace with the innovation driving modern optical design.
Who should attend:
Optical engineers, metrology specialists, and manufacturing leads involved in the design, fabrication, or testing of advanced optical components. This webinar will also benefit process development engineers, R&D professionals, and quality assurance teams seeking to improve measurement precision and production efficiency. Anyone interested in the latest innovations in optical metrology, interferometry, or in situ inspection technologies will gain valuable insights.
