The Sextant Labs' Laser Interferometer System is a phase shifting interferometer and intensity profiling instrument combined with the WinCORE application designed specifically to be integrated into the manufacturing and metrology environment.

The instrument provides real-time interferometric / intensity data to assist in the alignment and measurement of diffraction limited collimated laser sources such as collimator pens and optical disk drive optical pick-ups.
