IR and thermal imaging systems for aerospace and defence, space and remote sensing telescopes, surveillance, and homeland security, operate over a broad ranges of IR wavelengths. All benefit from testing at their design wavelengths with an infrared interferometer system, whether it be in Qualifying Exotic Materials, Research & Development Applications, Qualification, Investigation or Production. Testing at a system’s design wavelength is critical for their development, final alignment, and qualification.
As a solution to your IR interferometric needs, Armstrong Optical and partners are pleased to offer the IRIS X-Series & IRIS Q-Series Range of Interferometers. These have been developed following a successful conclusion of drawing upon experience and expertise spanning over three decades in the design and supply of infrared interferometers. The designs have evolved during extensive hands-on experience of IR interferometry that include the practical measurement of wavefront aberration of thermal imaging lens and mirror systems, both afocal and focal systems, IR optical sub-systems and lenses, optical homogeneity of IR materials and flatness of optical surfaces.
The range of IRIS Series Interferometers are all are part of a family of Laser Interferometers designed for convenience, portability, ease of use, and includes a 2-year warranty.
A range of accessories is available for each model which includes Transmission Spheres and Beam Expanders.
The operating wavelengths of the Systems are available in both fixed or tuneable, and single or dual waveband. Example of these wavelengths available are NIR 1.064μm, SWIR 1.55μm & 2μm, MWIR 3.39μm & 3.8μm, LWIR 10.6μm & 9.3μm to 10.8μm, and DWIR 3.8μm & 10.6μm. There is a wider range of exotic wavelengths available to match the unique design wavelength of your optical design critical for development, qualification and production.
