Shvabe Developed a Test Bench for Laser System Lenses

 

The Shvabe Holding Company, a member of the Rostec State Corporation, has developed and manufactured an interference test bench for control of extra-axial aspheric lenses with a light aperture of 600 mm in diameter for a high-energy laser system. The equipment has no comparable counterparts in the world.

The bench has been developed by specialists of Shvabe's member, Scientific Production Association Optika (NPO Optika). It ensures precision measuring of various technical parameters of extra-axial aspheric components with a light aperture of 600 mm in diameter.

"The development allows to quickly adjust the geometry shaping of lenses used for building a high-energy laser system. This system is designed for various researches in the field of physics. It guarantees manufacturing of components with the required precision features", states General Director of NPO Optika Sergey Kuznetsov.

The new bench manufactured by Shvabe allows to measure wave deviations generated by lenses and determine their extra-axial parameter. At the same time, the equipment is capable of analysing point images generated by components in real time mode.
