  • Patent number: 12104975
    Abstract: A portable optic metrology thermal chamber module including a housing defining a thermal chamber, with a thermally isolated environment arranged for holding an optic device under test, the housing having an optic stimulus entry aperture configured for entry of a stimulus beam, from a metrology system stimulus source through the entry aperture onto an entry pupil of the device to an image analyzer, and a module mount coupling to modularly mount the portable optic metrology thermal chamber module to a support of a metrology system of the metrology system stimulus source so as to removably couple the portable optic metrology thermal chamber module as a unit to the support in a predetermined position relative to the metrology system stimulus source, and the housing is sized and shaped so that the portable optic metrology thermal chamber module is portable as a unit for moving to and removing from the predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 11689711
    Abstract: A camera metrology apparatus including a base section, a drive section with independent drive axes, and an actuation platform having a camera mount, with a predetermined camera mount interface for a camera, and a camera stimulation source mount, with a predetermined stimulation source mount interface, and being coupled to one of the drive axes to generate relative motion between each interface effecting metrology measurement of the camera, wherein the actuation platform has a selectable configuration between different predetermined platform configurations, each with different predetermined mounting location characteristics changing a predetermined mounting location of the camera mount interface or stimulation source mount interface and effecting a different predetermined metrology measurement characteristic, and the camera mount and the camera stimulation source mount are arranged to define a repeatable relative position between the camera mount interface and stimulation source mount interface in each platfor
