Updates about PSM cameras and supply chain issues

While OPG normally keeps PSMs in stock we are experiencing supply chain issues with cameras.

For more information about this continue reading...

We fill orders on a first come, first served basis and if time is a factor it would be best to order now as it is not possible to say how long the problem will last.

More cameras have been ordered but the promised time is mid-Fall.

Using the PSM as an Autocollimator

The other day I got a call from a PSM user asking about calibration. What he was really asking about was the setting of the zero, or origin, on the video screen.

Adding mechanical datums to CGHs and Fresnel mirrors

In general, computer generated holograms (CGHs) and plane Fresnel mirrors (and lenses), made by the same techniques as CGHs, have optical “datums” or foci that are “rigidly attached” to the CGH or Fresnel plane substrate and move in six degrees of freedom with the substrate.

How repeatably can the Point Source Microscope find best focus at a center of curvature?

Recently, a client asked how well can you focus if you really had to do better? I did not know but it was easy to do an experiment with our centering station that has a motorized stage and the ability to log data as the stage moves.

Sometimes good news goes unnoticed for the longest time. We just stumbled on this unattributed, but complimentary note about the PSM.

Notice the PSM in the top center of Fig. 9. Optical Perspectives Group would like to express "thank you, IDEX".

"Just wanted to share a recent success aligning an adaptive optics test bed with the PSM. We used to use a traditional alignment telescope in the past, but the PSM made the whole process really easy and fast. The main requirements were to quickly determine the quality of beam collimation and pupil conjugates since there are several beam expanders and compressors with multiple pupil and focal planes."
