Wooptix collaborates with poLight ASA on their Phase RT1000 Camera
The benefits provided by poLight's TLens® include focus, repeatability, and
speed
MADRID, Spain and HORTEN, Norway -- April 17, 2024 - Wooptix, an expert in
optical metrology through wavefront phase, and poLight
ASA (https://www.polight.com/home/default.aspx) (OSE:PLT), developer of
innovative tunable optics technology, have recently announced their
collaboration in the production of the new Wavefront Phase Camera, SEBI RT1000.
"SEBI RT1000 has been introduced to the market in March, by Wooptix, through a
development kit, of which 100 initial units are being manufactured" says José
Manuel Rodríguez Ramos, CEO of Wooptix.
Regarding the collaboration with poLight ASA, Rodriguez Ramos continues:
"poLight provides a significant advancement in the Wavefront Phase Camera, SEBI
RT1000. We have previously collaborated with poLight in the smartphone market
and in other research projects. It has always been very fruitful, so we are
happy to do it again."
Wooptix's Phase Camera is a smaller implementation of the WFPI (Wavefront Phase
Imaging) technology, patented by the company and on which its technology is
based. "WFPI is the sensor developed by Wooptix to acquire high-resolution
wavefront phase maps. The SEBI® RT1000 application is aimed at laboratories,
especially in the activities of: Quantitative Phase Imaging, Optical Metrology,
Material Inspection, Laser Measurement, and Oncological Research.
SEBI RT1000 features the adjustable poLight TLens®, which offers auto-focus
technology. "The benefits provided by its tunable optics technology are mainly:
Focus, Repeatability, and Speed, allowing us to develop a real-time capture
device to extract the wavefront of objects," says Dr. Ricardo Oliva, Wooptix
Computer Vision Manager.
poLight Tunable Optics Technology
The Wooptix Phase Camera features TLens®, a patented proprietary polymer and
piezo MEMS-based tunable lens offering extremely compact size, ultra-low power
consumption, super high speed with constant field of view. It is the ideal
solution for the latest autofocus camera applications, such as continuous focus
video recording or full-focus imaging, without any of the deficiencies of
competing technologies, such as optical instability, changing field of view,
magnetic interference, or gravity impacts.
"We are pleased to continue our successful collaboration with the Wooptix team
to advance wavefront phase imaging, introducing new industrial and healthcare
laboratories to the benefits of our tunable optics technology," said Dr. Øyvind
Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA. "By incorporating TLens® into the SEBI RT100
camera, we are enabling a new level of real-time imaging for a variety of nano-
and micrometric measurement applications."
Development Kit: What to Expect?
The first 100 units of the SEBI® RT1000 development kit are ready to be shipped
starting June 1st, however, orders can start to be formalized from now. In fact,
around a dozen have already been requested. "Our commitment is to respect the
order of arrival of the orders, so as they arrive we will set aside the camera
and send the development kit in strict order of arrival," continues José Manuel.
The development kits will be followed by a full release of the product later
this year.
The RT1000 development kit provides the necessary resources to experiment with
phase camera imaging systems. The kit includes:
. The phase camera sensor itself, which is the main component responsible for
capturing light phase information.
. Documentation: Detailed instructions, user manuals, to set up and control the
phase sensor.
. SEBI® Analyzer Suite: Analysis software to assist in the phase camera system
development process.
About poLight ASA
poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) offers patented, state-of-the-art tunable optics
technology, leveraging its proprietary polymer and piezo MEMS technology.

in autofocus cameras used in applications such as AR/MR devices, smartphones,
wearables, webcams and other consumer devices, industrial barcode scanners and
machine vision systems, and healthcare applications. With over 160 granted
patents, poLight's technology delivers extremely fast focus, small
footprint, ultra-low power consumption, no magnetic interference, and constant
field of view, enabling better imaging system performance and new user
experiences compared to alternative technologies. poLight is based in Horten,
Norway, with employees in Finland, France, UK, US, China, Taiwan, and the
Philippines. For more information, please visit https://www.polight.com
About Wooptix
Wooptix is a leader in optical metrology through wavefront phase, a technique
coming from adaptive optics in astronomy. Since the early 2000s, Wooptix has
being improving and optimizing the proprietary algorithms running on the WFPI
technique (WaveFront Phase Imaging), thanks to the brilliant team.
The company has developed SEBI® RT1000, a wavefront phase camera that introduces
exceptionally high phase sampling (1.000 x 1.000), a real time processing (30
FPS), and an absolute Wavefront Accuracy (?/30 RMS) for the most challenging
measurement tasks. Wooptix is headquartered in Tenerife, Madrid (Spain), and
San Francisco (USA).
