The Lumenarium: The official blog of Lumetrics, Inc.

Abstract— Lumetrics has developed a fixture that expands precision measurement capabilities of the commercialized low-coherence interferometer, OptiGauge II, to materials that are not translucent to its measurement beam light of 1310nm. The fixture contains two probes oriented towards each other and an optical reference surface. The effects of the temperature on the measurement accuracy are eliminated via a calibration procedure conducted before the measurement.

Abstract — High quality glass tubing production relies on tightly controlled manufacturing processes. With the addition of a Reference Signal Generator (RSG), the OptiGauge II can aid the control of the straightness of the tube by measuring its bow.

Lumetrics, Inc. (Rochester, NY) has developed the next generation of Complete Light Analysis System (CLAS) software within its line of wavefront sensing instruments. The focus has been on several key elements to enhance the existing feature set of the old software. These enhancements have driven the new software, CLAS-NX, towards a simplified single-window interface that is intuitive and easy to use.

Abstract — Maintaining proper chemical composition of fluids is an important control parameter for a variety of different production processes. This is especially critical in the medical device manufacturing to maintain high quality standards. One method to monitor fluid composition is to measure its refractive index.

Abstract—Lumetrics, Inc. (Rochester, NY) has made inspection of internal dimensions of microfluidic flow cells possible with low-coherence white light interferometry. The OptiGauge II can measure internal channel heights down to 12 microns with 100 nanometer precision quickly and non-destructively. Machine vision-aided inspection stations can quantify other critical dimensions of entire production runs, ensuring higher product quality and that the performance specifications are met.
