2D Birefringence Measurement System

WPA-KAMAKIRI

This product is very effective if evaluation with high spatial resolution is essential. PET films and resin molded products often have a phase difference of more than 1000 nm, which complicates the optical system for quantitative evaluation of birefringence distribution.

With the WPA series, it is possible to measure a phase difference of about 3000 nm by selecting three different wave lengths and comparing and calculating the phase difference at each wave length. In addition, a high phase difference option is available to meet the needs of measuring ultra-high phase differences of about 10,000 nm.
