The constraints imposed on micro-optics, such as microlenses (spherical, cylindrical, square...), gratings, prisms, corner cubes, and in particular micro-optics wafers are extremely demanding. DHM™ instruments are ideal systems forprecisely controlling the shape, the surface quality (roughness, defects detection) and the optical performance of the micro-optics and the uniformity of these parameters across the wafer. Indeed, the DHM™ systems are versatile instruments allowing measurement with a nanometric vertical resolution of the topography. The measurements are performed in real-time without a calibration process or dependence on the micro-optics. Digital tools implemented in the Koala Software allow simple and accurate digital focusing, compensation of movement or orientation of the specimen and quantitative evaluation of micro optic shape, radius of curvature, surface quality and aberration coefficients.

In addition DHM™ techniques, in conjunction with a patented decoupling procedure, allow the separate measurement of mean refractive index and topography. The use of immersion liquids allowsprecision measurement of high ratio micro-optics or the individual characterization of  the two interfaces of double-sided structured micro-optics.
