4d Advanced User Training
Mastering Dynamic Interferometry
Nov 11 – Nov 13 from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Join us for 3 days of hands-on learning in Tucson!
Take your interferometry skills to the next level and get the most out of your 4D Technology instruments. Get practical, application-based training.
The Advanced User Training is a 2 day, in-person course designed for managers, engineers, technicians, and operators to get the most out your 4D technology interferometers, with an optional 3rd day.
Attendees will gain valuable knowledge on how and why to setup, measure, and analyze for a range of different applications.

Agenda
Day 1
- The basics and theory of optical testing, interferometry, and dynamic interferometry
- 4Sight Focus functionality overview including measurement modes, masking & filtering, fiducials, math and transforms, analyses and plots, and database
- Transmitted wavefront and surface error measurements of convex & concave optics as well as optical systems
- Aligning parts and basic measurements – including effects on focus, aperture size, intensity, gain, cavity lengths, and more
- System calibrations & verification measurements including 3-flat test and ITF measurements
- Measuring plane-parallel optics with and without a SIS module
- Using the interferometer for optical alignment with advanced Zernike analysis
- Optional personal sample measurements at the end of the day
Day 2
- Supersmooth optics measurements
- Non-traditional component measurements such as corner cubes, prisms, wedges, ROC, etc.
- Advanced measurements and analyses including island analysis, homogeneity, birefringence, and grazing incidence
- Using holographic optical elements (HOEs) to measure aspheres, cylinders, freeforms, and off-axis optics with a PhaseCam and AccuFiz
- Automation and WCF controls to automate a system, write custom analyses, write customer user interfaces, push data to a cloud/database, and interact with other software controls
- Current and future metrology challenges roundtable
- Optional personal sample measurements at the end of the day
Day 3 | optional
- Personal sample measurements & meetings with engineers
