El repte/The challenge
- Useful to characterize, in optical bench, the diffractive profil·le independently and/or in combination of the refractive element.
- Useful to design new optical components and evaluate their properties before production.
- Useful to characterise an already manufactured hybrid Optical component and to compare it with its original design.

Avantatges innovadores/Innovative advantages
The hybrid diffractive/refractive optics simulator is a rapid, economical and low consumption system in optical bench. Unlike numerical simulation, the proposed system provides empirical results, which are closer to the final behaviour of an optical component. This versatile system permits to characterize a diffractive profile independently or in combination with a refractive element before production.
Fase actual de desenvolupament/Current stage of development
A first operational prototype has been built and tested.
Aplicacions i mercat objectiu/Applications and target market
