HASO SWIR FAST Wavefront sensor

The SWIR kHz

The HASO SWIR FAST is a high-speed wavefront sensor designed for demanding applications requiring accurate measurements in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectrum. It boasts a high frame rate, large wavefront measurement dynamic, and internal calibration for simplified integration. Ideal for adaptive optics in free space optical communication, quantum key distribution, and atmospheric turbulence characterization, the HASO SWIR FAST delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

HASO SWIR FAST Wavefront sensor

 

With its very high frame rate, the HASO SWIR FAST Wavefront sensor is used in most demanding applications where measurement accuracy in Soft Wave InfraRed bandwidth and high temporal resolution are needed. Thanks to its large wavefront measurement dynamic and its internal calibration, its implementation in an optical bench is simplified.


Best for

+ Adaptive Optics for Free Space Optics (Satellite Communication or horizontal path communication).
+ Adaptive Optics for Quantum Key Distribution.
+ High speed SWIR atmospheric turbulence characterization.

Features of the HASO SWIR FAST WAVEFRONT SENSOR

+ Absolute calibration ensured at 15nm RMS, allowing diffraction limited Adaptive Optics.
+ Optimized for 1.55µm but usable from 0.9µm to 1.7µm wavelength with the same accuracy and sensitivity.
+ Not more than 0.2nW needed to reach 4.5 kHz and 15nm RMS repeatability.
+ Camera Link allows reducing the latency down to 500µs.
+ 11×11 microlenses Shack-Hartmann. Deformable mirrors with up to 100 actuators can be driven.
+ Exposure duration can be increased up to seconds to perform active optics on very faint sources.
+ Not sensitive to scintillations thanks to a patented uncorrelated wavefront measurement with intensity variations in the pupil

Software

WAVEVIEW metrology software with more than 150 features included
Optional WAVESKY adaptive optics software and SDK to have continuous high frequency slopes measurements stream.

Examples of applications of the HASO SWIR FAST Wavefront sensor

+ HASO SWIR FAST is included in our CIAO SWIR, a stand-alone adaptive optics platform that includes a Piezo DM. The loop is closed at the frequency of 3.5kHz.
+ HASO SWIR FAST has been used to characterize an atmospheric turbulence emulator and get the power spectral density up to the frequency of 2.2kHz on 36 Zernike polynomials.
