Difrotec has developed a breakthrough technology in optical testing

Typical measurement system including (from right to left):
D7, laser, optical accessory DA, 6d stage for holding test optics.

The D7 is phase-shifting point diffraction common path interferometer for ultra high accuracy measurements of surface form and transmitted wavefront quality.

The D7 detects the absolute figure of a surface or wavefront. See video

Absolute figure means that the measured form is counted from the absolute reference i.e. perfect spherical wavefront produced by diffraction of light by a sub-wavelength aperture.

optical testing & Measurements


Optical testing and measurement services include testing surface figure of concave, convex, corner cubes, flat, aspheres, freeforms, and transmitted wavefronts of optical systems, and also measurements of curvature radius. (test your optics)

Optical design & fabrication

Based on over 30 years experience in computer modeling of high precision optical systems, we have established our own partnerships to design and manufacture high quality optics. Our long-term partner in optics fabrication is KPU - Korea Polytechnic University.
