Imagine Optic is a French photonics manufacturer founded in 1996 and based in Orsay, within the Paris-Saclay optics and photonics cluster. The company is an established provider of wavefront sensing instrumentation, adaptive optics solutions, and high-precision optical metrology systems across spectral domains from X-EUV to Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR).

With facilities in Orsay and Talence (Institut d’Optique d’Aquitaine) alongside global commercial representation, the company supplies major scientific research institutes, aerospace contractors, semiconductor developers, and laser laboratories worldwide. Its wavefront analysis platforms are employed in ultra-high-intensity laser alignment, space telescope integration, and advanced bio-imaging.

Certified ISO 9001 since 2010
BPI France “Excellence” label recipient
Joint research partner with the CEA through the NanoLite Extreme UV laboratory

Imagine Optic designs and manufactures modular hardware and software for complete optical path characterization and correction:

Wavefront Sensors: The HASO Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor series and Linearized Focal Plane Technique (LIFT) phase retrieval sensors covering X-EUV, DUV, Visible, NIR, and SWIR wavelengths (up to 1650 nm), providing absolute wavefront error (WFE) and transmitted/reflected surface form error (SFE) measurement without external reference optics.
Adaptive Optics Systems: Closed-loop adaptive optics packages (CIAO VIS and CIAO SWIR) integrating electromagnetic deformable mirrors (mu-DM), mechanical deformable mirrors, wavefront sensors, and real-time control software for atmospheric turbulence correction and laser pointing stabilization.
Metrology Platforms: Optical Engineer Companion (OEC) modular alignment and test platforms, MESO shop-floor metrology systems for flat and plane-parallel optics, and CAM SQUARED laser M² beam quality analyzers.
Software & SDKs: Proprietary WAVEVIEW and WAVETUNE software suites alongside WAVEKIT SDKs for automated optical alignment, Zernike/Legendre aberration decomposition, point spread function (PSF) calculation, and MTF computation.
Recalibration & Custom Engineering: NIST/ISO traceable wavefront sensor factory recalibration, OEM sensor tailoring, and custom optical path integration for high-power lasers and satellite payloads.
