Lumetrics, a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in precision non-contact thickness measurement and non-contact optical inspection systems, announced the launch of its new Wavefront Sensor product family. This highlights the company’s continued commitment to delivering high-reliability tools for optics evaluation and quality control. Lumetrics will present the new technology at SPIE Photonics West 2026, where visitors can see demonstrations of wedge and lens stack measurement at Booth 256.
A Complete Wavefront Measurement System Built on Proven Sensor Technology
The new Lumetrics Wavefront Sensors build upon the capabilities of the Shack-Hartmann sensor, forming a comprehensive wavefront measurement package. Each system integrates a CMOS camera, Wavefront Control Center software, and an easy-to-use Wavefront-API, creating a cohesive environment for both rapid testing and advanced customization.
The camera sensor is designed with an intuitive interface that supports faster setup and evaluation, while its visible-wavelength design ensures suitability for common optical analysis tasks. The Wavefront-API enables flexible integration so users can tailor the system to fit a wide range of measurement requirements.
Designed for Diverse Optical Measurement Applications
The wavefront measurement system is engineered to support applications across the optical industry. It is suited for evaluating contact lenses and intraocular lenses, assessing lens stack quality, analyzing laser beams, conducting surface measurements, determining transmitted wavefront error, performing optical alignment, and quantifying phase-related parameters.
“The latest addition to our non-contact measurement product family is a real jump in reliability and usability for wavefront measurement,” said John Hart, President and CEO of Lumetrics. “Lumetrics Wavefront Sensors bring the power of Zernike polynomials to day-to-day quality testing for optical systems and materials.”
By introducing its Wavefront Sensor family, Lumetrics strengthens its portfolio of advanced optical metrology solutions, offering users a reliable, high-precision toolset for rapid analysis of optical components. With integrated software, flexible API control, and intuitive operation, the new system reflects the company’s ongoing mission to enhance accuracy, usability, and efficiency within optical manufacturing and inspection environments. Visitors can explore the technology firsthand through live demonstrations at Photonics West 2026.
