SkyWave Pro for telescope wavefront measurement

Innovations Foresight has developed a new cutting-edge solution for quantitative optical surface measurement with our patented AI-based wavefront sensing technology, AI4Wave. Unlike conventional systems such as interferometers, this method eliminates the need for a dedicated wavefront sensor. Instead, it requires only a standard camera and a defocused image. From just one image, AI4Wave accurately generates precise wavefront data, simplifying and accelerating optical metrology.

SkyWave for collimation

Driven by AI, SkyWave is designed for both amateur and professional telescope users, enabling easy optical alignment based on precise data, eliminating the guesswork and frustration of visually inspecting defocused stars. It unlocks valuable data insights, accelerates the collimation process, and employs AI models tailored to each telescope’s optical layout, enhancing image quality.

As a software-based solution, Skywave requires no additional hardware, making it a cost-effective option for both collimation and optical system measurements.

Skywave Pro for Metrology

Skywave Pro provides in addition to collimation solutions, full advanced wavefront optical measurements for comprehensive telescope characterization and quality control. These measurements include 2D and 3D wavefronts, Zernike and Seidel aberrations, PSF, MTF, SR, and more, all captured simultaneously on and off-axis.
