2D Birefringence Measurement System

WPA-300Series

Large birefringence measurement made possible by multiple – wavelength evaluation

Data measured at three different wavelengths

Data merged into one high-retardation data distribution

The WPA-300 series provides sharper measurement by increasing the resolution of the polarization image sensor up to 5 times, while maintaining the large phase difference measurement performance of the WPA-200 series. It is possible to convert small, minute changes in phase difference into clearer data.
