Innovations Foresight Launches AI4Wave Wavefront Sensing Software

Integrated with PSM from Optical Perspectives LLC

Optical Perspectives Group, LLC (OPG) has teamed with Innovations Foresight, Inc. (IFI) to bring wavefront measurement capabilities to the Point Source Microscope (PSM) using AI techniques. Adding IFI AI4Wave software to a PSM gives this multi-purpose optical metrology instrument interferometer- like abilities in addition to its traditional autostigmatic microscope and autocollimator capabilities. The combined PSM/AI4Wave package produces wavefront data from an instrument that is smaller, lighter, less expensive than an interferometer, and much less sensitive to the environment. For more information, contact either one of us, OPG or IFI.
