Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Objective Lens

Definition
The objective lens is a critical optical component within an interferometric optical head, responsible for collecting light from the measurement surface and focusing it onto the interferometer's detector. It determines the system's resolution, working distance, and field of view, enabling precise non-contact surface measurement through interference patterns.
Working Principle
The objective lens operates by refracting incoming light rays to converge at a focal point. In interferometric systems, it collects light reflected from the target surface and directs it to combine with a reference beam, creating interference fringes that encode surface height information.
Common Materials
Optical Glass, Fused Silica
Technical Parameters
  • Focal length determines magnification and working distance (mm) Customizable

Cause: Thermal cycling stress from rapid temperature changes, mechanical shock from impacts or vibration, or material fatigue from cyclic loading in adjustable lens assemblies.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Visible haze, discoloration, or permanent streaks on lens surface despite cleaning
  • Audible grinding or clicking noises during lens adjustment or focusing mechanisms
Engineering Tips
  • Implement strict handling protocols using lint-free gloves and approved lens cleaning solutions only, with regular inspection schedules using controlled lighting to detect early coating defects.
  • Maintain stable environmental conditions with controlled temperature/humidity, use vibration-damping mounts, and perform periodic alignment checks to prevent mechanical stress accumulation.
