8 WFS Series
How to order additional microlens arrays
Due to the fact, that each MLA shows individual optical characteristics (geometry,
lens pitch and lens allocation accuracy), it is necessary to calibrate each individual
MLA with the appropriate camera. This calibration is carried out at factory,
calibration data are saved to the camera's internal memory (EEPROM).
So if you have purchased a WFS with a single MLA and want to order an additional
MLA, your existing WFS must be returned to Thorlabs. In our factory, your sensor will
be calibrated with the additional MLA, calibration data will be added to the sensor's
memory and the WFS will be returned to you with both MLA.
Adding an additional microlens array is an upgrade of the existing WFS with a single
MLA to one of the a.m. WFS kits with 2 MLA.
Please contact your local Thorlabs office for return instructions.
NOTE
If the desired MLA combination is not stated in above list, please contact your
local Thorlabs office for support.
The WFS software accepts only different MLA types. By other words, it is
impossible to calibrate the same sensor for two microlens arrays of the same
type.
Example:
To an existing WFS10-14AR should be added an additional microlens array
with chrome mask and 150µm lens pitch.
Contact your local Thorlabs office for a return of your WFS10-
14AR in order to convert it to WFS10-K1 (WFS10 with two MLA)
Upon receipt of your WFS10-14AR, the additional MLA will be
calibrated with your sensor.
Thorlabs will return to you a WFS10-K1 (WFS10 with 2 MLA)
Exchange Program for Old Style Wavefront Sensors
Our Wavefront Sensor Exchange Program offers to customers who purchased either
a WFS150 or WFS150C wavefront sensor (with fixed MLA) an upgrade to a
WFS150/WFS300 wavefront sensor (or to a WFS-K1 / WFS-K2 kit) with
exchangeable lenslet array. Please contact your local Thorlabs office for
more details.
