The SP15 “light bar” allows inspections in accordance with the MIL-PRF-13830B transmitted light method 1 in conjunction with the SP11D Black Box and SP13 “Assembly inspection black box”.

The Savvy Optics SP13 “Assembly inspection black box” accommodates the inspection of larger components and assemblies’ inspections in accordance with the MIL-PRF-13830B transmitted light method 2 and reflectance methods.

Optical flat

Scratch/Dig measurement of optical surfaces for both MIL-PRF-13830B and ISO 10110-7 are available for flat surfaces and shallow curves. We offer systems from both Savvy Optics (the SavvyInspector) and DIOPTIC (the ARGOS).

Acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) allow the creation of multiple optical traps by time-sharing, that is, by rapidly cycling the laser focus between designated spatial locations. The traps thus formed are not permanent. In this Letter, we successfully demonstrate the creation of multiple and permanent traps by means of AODs driven by specially encoded radio frequency signals. The generation of complex acoustic signals allows us to treat such devices as super-fast spatial light modulators. Using this technique, it is possible to generate several static optical trap arrays and switch them at kilohertz (kHz) rates, allowing independent control of each trap group. Additionally, we discuss the compatibility of this method with precise force and position measurements, and the improvement in their frequency bandwidth compared to time-sharing optical tweezers, especially when many objects are trapped.

The SavvyInspector® model SIL-4 is designed to measure scratch and dig of lenses to MIL spec. The SIL-4 uses a 1.4 megapixel camera and can evaluate lenses (e.g., plano-convex, 25 mm diameter R > 40 mm or equivalent surface slopes) to specifications down to 10-5.

The “black box” from Savvy Optics is a black powder coat, cleanroom compatible viewing fixture which allows inspections in accordance with the MIL-PRF-13830B transmitted light method 2 and reflectance methods. It is consistent with the latest versions of the ANSI and ISO visibility inspection methods, which specify the required illuminance rather than wattage for the inspection areas. It is lightweight and fully assembled. Ships with 110/220V compatible NEMA 1-15 ungrounded power plug.

The inspection stations from Savvy Optics allow an objective measurement of scratch and dig visibility. They are available in manual or motorised configurations with various XY stage options. The motorised systems can be automated for “Autoscan” measurement scanning and automatic reporting.
