As long-wave infrared (LWIR) applications (8–14 μm wavelength range) continue to expand, the demand for precise wavefront measurement in optical testing—especially for aerospace—has been steadily rising.

Last week, Phasics delivered the world’s first modular Kaleo Kit platform optimized for 8.7 μm to a valued customer in Japan. The system successfully passed on-site acceptance testing and was delivered alongside installation and training services. This marks an important step in expanding the Kaleo Kit product line to address new wavelength requirements.

Client Overview

The customer is a leading Japanese optical system manufacturer with a significant presence in the aerospace industry. Known for its high standards in performance and service quality, the company has a longstanding partnership with Phasics. To ensure the system fully met their needs, Phasics worked closely with the client, providing customized development, configuration optimization, and post-delivery on-site support.

Installation and Training: Combining Technical Expertise and Support

Phasics’ technical team traveled to the client’s facility to manage installation and fine-tuning, ensuring the system operated optimally in their specific application environment.

Comprehensive training sessions were provided to the client’s team, who commended the system’s performance and ease of use. This feedback reinforced their confidence in Phasics’ solutions and highlighted the importance of robust technical and service support.

Core Technical Advantages of the Kaleo Kit

The Kaleo Kit platform, specially optimized for the 8.7 μm wavelength, offers key technical benefits:

• High-Precision Wavefront Measurement: Achieves better than λ/1000 RMS precision at 8.7 μm.
• High Dynamic Range: Suitable for testing complex optical systems.
• Modular Design: Easily adaptable to various experimental requirements.
• Versatile Applications: Ideal for testing optical systems and components in transmission (TWE) or reflection/surface (RWE).
• Ease of Use and Stability: Ensures reliable, long-term operation.

These features make the Kaleo Kit a robust and flexible solution for demanding optical testing applications.
